Durham College of Applied Arts and Technology is located in the Durham Region of Ontario, Canada, with campuses in Oshawa and Whitby, a learning site in Pickering, and community employment services in Uxbridge, Port Hope, Port Perry, Beaverton, Oshawa and Bowmanville.
Founded in 1967, Durham College has more than 56,000 alumni.
The college opened on September 18, 1967, with 16 portable classrooms, 14 staff and 205 students, offering courses in applied arts, business and technology. The college soon added courses in health sciences and adult training and grew to 1,250 students by its 10th anniversary.
In the 1980s, the college grew, with enrolment increasing to 2,700 in 1987 and further expansion of the facilities, including the construction of a new state-of-the art robotics lab, the precursor to the Integrated Manufacturing Centre found on campus today.
In the early 1990s, the Whitby campus was established, featuring the Skills Training Centre, where thousands of apprentices have studied.
The college established partnerships with York and Trent universities, that first brought university courses to the Durham College Oshawa campus, and then with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) which opened in 2003. Durham and UOIT have established a post-secondary partnership, sharing a campus, some facilities and selected services, while making it easier than ever before for students to pursue both a diploma and a degree.
At Durham College, students are encouraged to participate in student life activities and programs that promote their intellectual development and growth. The vibrant student life opportunities are consistent with Durham's educational vision to provide a seamless learning environment for all students. On campus, there are many amenities available to students, including housing options, sports and recreational activities, shopping, transportation, parking, health and medical facilities, campus safety, and a wide variety of food options.
