Message from the Associate Vice President, UPC
Dr. Cherylyn Cameron
Welcome to Georgian College’s University Partnership Centre! Our mission is to provide learners with multiple pathways to degree and graduate studies through university partnerships. Georgian achieves this through partnerships with select universities, offering its own degrees in niche areas as well as graduate level certificate programs, and expediting transfer credit recognition through seamless pathways to degree completion and articulation agreements.
We pride ourselves on our excellent programming and faculty. Students enjoy our small classes and getting to know their faculty on a first-name basis. You get the best of both worlds: university and college degrees at a local college campus. The Barrie Campus offers a student residence, expanded Student and Athletic Centre complete with two tournament-sized gyms, huge fitness centre, café, lounge, outdoor patio, and state-of-the-art learning facilities at the Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning. The Orillia Campus, situated in a beautiful woodland setting at the south end of Orillia, has much to offer its student body including a 150-seat theatre, gym, fitness facility and pub.
We hope you’ll come and study with us!
“I could have gone into any business program but what I wanted was Laurentian @ Georgian. Number one was that I could still live at home and that would save me a lot of money. I was also attracted to the friendliness of the campus and the small class sizes. The students really get to know each other and the teachers can offer lots of support one-on-one. You get plenty of individual attention. The program really opens you up to stuff you didn’t think of before. It opens you up to so many more ideas and areas to explore.”
