Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology

However you define your goals, the best learning to get you there extends far beyond the classroom. Georgian is a recognized leader in student work experience (2022-23 Key Performance Indicators) and 100% of our programs emphasize practical, hands-on learning and most offer a formal work-integrated opportunity, ranging from paid co-p terms to internships and field placements. The best centres of learning do far more than transmit knowledge. They’re catalysts for change. Georgian is committed to being an active agent of growth for students, but also for employers, partners and communities. We foster a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation to allow students to become job creators as well as job seekers. In addition to our cutting-edge curriculum, Georgian is the first (and only) college in Canada designated a changemaker college by Ashoka U for our role as a leader in social innovation and changemaking in higher education. Georgian offers more than 130 market-driven programs on four campuses that are in some of the most sought-after areas in Central Ontario (think big city amenities, small town charm, and lots of four-season recreational opportunities). We also have Indigenous Resource Centres at our Barrie, Midland and Owen Sound campuses, which provide a culturally supportive and comfortable environment where students can study, socialize and access a wide range of resources.
