Niche Programming The Perth Campus— now with new facilities — is well-integrated with the Town of Perth and Lanark County through its range of unique programming, including Office Administration – Executive, Social Service Worker, Personal Support Worker, and through niche programming in heritage conservation trades training supplemented by the richness of architecture in the town.

Olympic House – Building SuccessThe Olympic House project began as a fundraiser for local Olympian Nick Tritton and several charities of his choosing.

The nature of the project was to construct an energy-efficient, single-family home on the PerthWorks site, combining the project management expertise of the Lan-Arc Design/Build Group — who would oversee the participation of local trades and Algonquin College.

Algonquin’s Advanced Housing program completed the majority of the work as their project for the school year.

UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE? GET BOTH!

Several programs in the School of Media and Design give you this opportunity.

For instance, in the Journalism and Public Relations programs, you have the option of enhancing your career opportunities by continuing your education with a Degree Pathway Agreement at the University of Ottawa.

You will experience an additional two years at the university and have both a diploma from Algonquin and an Honours Bachelor Degree from the University of Ottawa.

Our Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design program is one of only three in Ontario and six in Canada that is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) — an international organization that ensures a superior level of interior design education.

Commencing in 2015, all members of the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) will be required to have graduated with a baccalaureate degree in interior design.

THE CENTRE FOR CONTINUING AND ONLINE LEARNING (CCOL)

FULL-TIME ONLINE

If you’re a self-directed and committed learner, full-time online programs give you an alternate, flexible way to achieve a diploma or certificate. These programs demand the same level of discipline, attention, and time as studying full-time on campus. Full-time online learning allows you to study from the comfort of your own home.

PART- TIME ONLINE

Part-time online learning allows you to work around your busy schedule from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere. You can access your courses 24/7, and facilitators can answer questions. Algonquin is a member of OntarioLearn, a partnership of 24 Ontario Colleges that have combined their resources to increase your online learning options.

PART-TIME ON CAMPUS

For some students, learning is easier face-to-face. Studying part-time on campus is all about gaining skills through hands-on experience in specialized labs.

Part-time on campus and online deliveries allow you to register on a course-by-course basis, and choose your workload, based on your active schedule.

“The Academic Upgrading program was the best choice for me to meet the requirements for post-secondary. I gained the confidence I never had in high school, due in part to the great help of my teachers, and in part to the guided pace of the program. I went from high school basic math to engineering ready in a few short months. Academic Upgrading helped me realize my potential.”
