Why Fanshawe College
Fanshawe College is ready for tomorrow and for nearly 50 years, we have been preparing students to make meaningful and valuable social, academic, and professional contributions to an evolving global society. We began modestly enough in the 1960s as a local vocational training centre. Since then, we have seen impressive growth in student population, economic impact, and even the size and shape of our campus. We are now a leader in applied education and an education destination of choice, attracting tens of thousands of talented students from more than 40 countries every year.
With options ranging from one-year preparatory certificates to four-year applied degrees, and plenty of other choices in between, plus hundreds of articulation agreements and curriculum-delivery partnerships with colleges and universities worldwide, Fanshawe can set anyone on the right path. We focus on putting knowledge into practice, connecting in intimate learning environments and supporting academic progress through research and professional development. Above all, we emphasize quality of experience.
We are proud of the relationships our students have with faculty and staff who care about them and challenge them to apply their talents and their hands-on training with passion. Our top-notch professors, hired directly from the field, use the latest technology, often preparing graduates well ahead of emerging trends. Within six months of graduation, 86 percent of those grads begin to build meaningful careers all over the world, even in our still-recovering economy.
Fanshawe College has a long and successful history of unlocking potential, preparing graduates for challenging and rewarding careers. We’re proud of our history and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. For us and for our students, this is a time of transition to new environments and experiences, an open door to a world of possibility.
