At Centennial College, no matter what program you choose to attend, you will
study in classrooms that are outfitted to your offering and include tools of the
trade to ensure you are ready for this field.
This Community College offers a very unique layout to students, with four
main campuses scattered across the east end of the city. Each campus houses
one or two Schools of Study and boasts classrooms that are fully equipped to
offer students a hands-on experience. Here is a closer look at each campus.
Progress Campus:
As Centennial College's largest location, this space houses School of
Business and School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culture programs.
For students of the School of Business, this centrally located campus
offers training with the latest software that they will experience in the
industry.
The School of Business students also benefit because the campus is
located near a wide array of businesses at which they often intern or are
placed as field placement students.
Hospitality, Tourism and Culture program attendees benefit from a wide
array of on-campus facilities that offer real world experiences. Among
these facilities is a real restaurant, which allows students to not only
learn the ins and outs of the kitchen but also take on serving customers
in real time. Another facility located at Progress Campus is a student-run
conference centre that includes meeting rooms and spaces that students
must set up for a range of events.

of the School of Engineering, Technology and Applied Science (ETAS) as
well as the School of Community and Health Studies.

can be conducted. For example, students of the Medical Laboratory
Technician program learn to collect blood samples and perform ECGs.
Students of the Community and Health Studies courses, meanwhile,

world. As such, nursing students practice in mock hospital rooms;
Paramedic students learn on ambulances; Massage Therapy students
massage on real tables; Esthetician students have an entire spa to learn
from and the list goes on.

programs.

Film students. These newsrooms come equipped with cameras,
Teleprompters and much more.
All students benefit from the latest software, including software that is
essential to teaching students in programs such as Game and Art Design

This campus serves two purposes. First, it is the hub for all School of
Transportation programs. Secondly, it also boasts foundational programs
