The province of [[Ontario]] has 24 publicly funded [[college (Canada)|colleges]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcu.gov.on.ca/eng/postsecondary/schoolsprograms/|title=Find a School|website=www.tcu.gov.on.ca}}</ref> known as Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs). In 2003, three CAATs (Conestoga, Humber, and Sheridan) were designated as Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning.
The province of [[Ontario]] has 24 publicly funded [[college (Canada)|colleges]] that provide [[vocational training]] and career-oriented post-secondary education. Most public colleges in Ontario are known as ''College of Applied Arts and Technology'' (CAATs), although in 2003, three CAATs were designated as ''Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning'' (ITAL). Publicly funded colleges in Ontario offer certificates, apprenticeships, and diploma programs, although several are also provided the authority to award degrees through ministerial consent from the province's [[Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development]].


In addition to publicly funded colleges, the province has also authorized the establishment of over 500 career colleges that provide certificate and diploma programs.
Most Ontario colleges were founded between 1965 and 1967, after the passage of [[Ontario Ministry of Education|Minister of Education]] [[Bill Davis]]' Bill-153<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/about/history.html?PageMode=Print|title=History of Mohawk College|publisher=[[Mohawk College]]|access-date=2011-08-14}}</ref> on May 21, 1965, to create a post-secondary educational system different from that of universities. The ''Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002'', indicates that the purpose of Ontario public colleges is to offer "career-oriented, post-secondary education and training to assist individuals in finding and keeping employment, to meet the needs of employers and the changing work environment and to support the economic and social development of their local and diverse communities."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/02o08f|title=Law Document English View|date=24 July 2014}}</ref>


The [[Canadian Armed Forces]] also operate several institutions that also bear the name "colleges". However, one of these institutions is considered a [[university]] with full degree-granting authority, while the others are considered [[staff college]]s that provide [[professional development]] courses for Canadian Armed Forces officers.

Revision as of 12:04, 27 January 2024

The province of Ontario has 24 publicly funded colleges that provide vocational training and career-oriented post-secondary education. Most public colleges in Ontario are known as College of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs), although in 2003, three CAATs were designated as Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning (ITAL). Publicly funded colleges in Ontario offer certificates, apprenticeships, and diploma programs, although several are also provided the authority to award degrees through ministerial consent from the province's Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development.

In addition to publicly funded colleges, the province has also authorized the establishment of over 500 career colleges that provide certificate and diploma programs.

The Canadian Armed Forces also operate several institutions that also bear the name "colleges". However, one of these institutions is considered a university with full degree-granting authority, while the others are considered staff colleges that provide professional development courses for Canadian Armed Forces officers.

Public colleges

Postsecondary institutions that focused on vocational training were established in 1965 through the Minister of Education Bill Davis' Bill-153 on May 21, 1965. This legislation aimed to establish a distinct post-secondary educational system separate from universities.[1][2] All 24 publicly funded colleges in Ontario were established through the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 1965, which outlined that these institutions were to provide "career-oriented, post-secondary education and training to assist individuals in finding and keeping employment, to meet the needs of employers and the changing work environment and to support the economic and social development of their local and diverse communities."[3][2]

These institutions historically only provided certificates, apprenticeships, and diploma programs.[4] Until 2000, these institutions did not offer degree programs, with the province of Ontario having been one of the most restrictive jurisdictions in North America in regulating and restricting the authority to award degrees to only universities.[2] However, in 2000, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development authorized colleges to offer a limited number of applied baccalaureate degrees under the Postsecondary Education Choice and Excellence Act, 2000. However, in contrast to public universities, which possess full degree-granting authority through legislation, public colleges in Ontario can only offer specific degrees after receiving ministerial consent from the provincial government.[2][5]

In 2003, the province introduced a new designation, Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, to denote publicly funded colleges where up to 15 per cent of its programs awarded degrees, while colleges that retained the College of Applied Arts and Technology title were limited at 5 per cent.[2] In 2012–2013 approximately 74 degree programs were offered by 12 Ontario colleges.[6]

OPSEU represents faculty and support staff at all 24 colleges, though certain classes of faculty and support staff are not covered. These are divided into three bargaining units: academic, full-time support, and part-time support.[7]

List of public colleges

There are 24 publicly funded colleges in Ontario.[8] Most operate as a "College of Applied Arts and Technology", although five are designated as an "Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning".[2][note 1]

English is the language of instruction for the majority of programs at publicly funded colleges in Ontario, although some programs are taught in French.[10] There are 22 publicly funded colleges operating as English-language institutions and two as French-language institutions.[11]

Private colleges

Ontario has over 500 career colleges (formerly known as private career colleges) that confer certificate and diplomas.[12][13] These colleges are regulated by the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005. These are privately operated institutions which they must be registered and approved by the Superintendent of Private Career Colleges.[14]

Military institutions

The names of several military institutions based in Ontario include the word college, and are all operated by the Canadian Armed Forces.

The Royal Military College of Canada is a military university based in Kingston, and offers undergraduate and graduate education for officers-in-training. Although the institution includes the word college in its name, the Royal Military College of Canada is recognized as a university with full degree-granting authority.[15][16]

The Canadian Armed Forces also operates several staff colleges in Ontario, including the Canadian Forces College in Toronto and the Canadian Army Command and Staff College in Kingston. These institutions provides professional development programs for military officers in the Canadian Armed Forces.[17][18]
