About Niagara College
A leader in applied education in the heart of the Niagara Region, offering 130+ diploma, degree and graduate certificate programs across two campuses in Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Niagara College is one of Ontario's most acclaimed applied-learning colleges, home to more than 9,000 full-time students including over 4,000 international students from more than 60 countries. Its two full-service campuses — Welland and the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake — sit minutes from Niagara Falls and the U.S. border.
The college is famous for learning enterprises you can't find anywhere else in Canada: the country's first commercial teaching winery, teaching brewery and teaching distillery, plus a full-scale greenhouse operation and the Benchmark teaching restaurant. Programs span business, hospitality and tourism, culinary arts, media, technology, trades, health sciences and community services.
Niagara College consistently ranks among Ontario's top colleges for student satisfaction, and its Welland campus features modern athletics, applied-health and trades facilities. Graduates benefit from strong co-op and field-placement networks across the Niagara Region and the wider Golden Horseshoe.
