Welcome to Niagara
Nestled in the vibrant Niagara Region, minutes from a renowned tourism hub brimming with daily events, Niagara College (NC) boasts over 120 innovative programs across its Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake campuses. These locations offer unique living labs, advanced facilities for hands-on learning, numerous on-campus jobs, world-class applied research, and small, supportive classes.
Benefitting from proximity to diverse cultural attractions, entertainment, and the Canada-US border, both campuses foster a warm, supportive culture and deliver relevant programs with real-world experience. Passionate faculty prioritize student success, creating a distinctive educational journey.
Conveniently located and easily accessible via major highways and the Niagara Transit Commission, NC’s campuses are approximately a 20-minute drive apart, connecting students to major urban centers and the US border.
Niagara College acknowledges that we are gathered on the shared traditional lands of the Anishinaabe (pronounced: ahnish-naw-bay) and Haudenosaunee (pronounced: ho-dehneh-show-nee). We offer our sincere gratitude to them as the stewards of this land, which is protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement’s three principles: to take only what you need, leave enough for others, and always keep the dish clean. Today, many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities from across Turtle Island continue to live and work in this territory. Acknowledging the peoples whose territory we are on, and the agreements that guide their stewardship of the land, reminds us to reflect on and respect their unique relationship to this land. It also is an invitation for all of us to identify and engage in actions that respect and reinforce our commitments to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous Rights.
