Whether it’s through our online DC Cares form, a quick note via social media or using an on-campus suggestion box, we encourage our students to provide feedback. We look forward to sharing why you heart DC as much as we do!

Why everyone hearts DC… At Durham College (DC), the student experience comes first. Beginning with our first graduating class of just 53 students in 1969 to the more than 62,000 graduates we now proudly call our alumni, we continue to ensure our students receive the best possible education and gain the most up-to-date skills during their time with us.

More than 30,000 students study at DC each year, securing their futures through a variety of full- and part-time, apprenticeship, continuing education and career development programs in several different areas of importance to the current economy including art, business, community services, continuing education, culinary, design, emergency services, health, information technology, justice, renewable energy, science, hospitality, tourism, skilled trades and the environment.

In addition, we offer numerous pathway opportunities through agreements with many universities in Canada and around the world. These agreements allow you to pursue your university degree in less than the traditional amount of time and/or earn a degree without repeating certain courses. We also offer several graduate certificate programs as well as fast-track programs, which enable you to complete your diploma requirements in as little as two semesters if you have an appropriate degree from an accredited university.

The campus recently reached the end of a three-phase construction project that has seen $44 million invested in an expanded post-secondary presence in Durham Region designed to bring new full-time programs to life and help develop the skilled workforce needed for our local communities to grow and prosper.

to accommodate approximately 900 additional students studying in culinary, hospitality, tourism, agricultural and horticultural programs.
