INTRODUCTION THE PROOF IS IN THE NUMBERS Teaching is our passion. And we’ve worked hard over the past few years to invest in the quality of our programs and student success. We’re quite pleased with the results. Because as they say, the data speaks for itself. During the 2019-2020 academic year: ◼ Northern College led Ontario’s English-speaking colleges in
student satisfaction with 92.9 percent of students reporting that their programs are providing them with the skills they need for future employment. (Source: Colleges Ontario)
◼ Attracting approximately 650 international students on
our northern campuses in the 2019-2020 academic year, Northern continues to be a college of choice for learners from around the world.
◼ With a 30 percent increase in high school applicants,
Northern College was one of the few Ontario institutions to report positive growth in domestic student applications. And while colleges across the province were reporting decreases, Northern showed a six percent enrolment growth—alongside increases in every other measurable metric—leading all colleges in the province.

◼ The College exceeded provincial graduation averages
from Board-approved programs, with 94 percent of students receiving their certificates. (Source: Strategic Mandate Agreement (SMT), 2017-2020)
