About Conestoga College
Conestoga College was founded in 1967 as part of Ontario's network of public colleges of applied arts and technology. It has grown into one of Ontario's largest colleges, with campuses across the Waterloo Region and nearby cities, and offers diplomas, graduate certificates and four-year bachelor's degrees in fields such as computing, engineering, business, health and skilled trades.
Conestoga is a college, not a university, and its focus is applied, job-oriented learning: smaller classes, labs, and co-op work terms with employers in the Kitchener–Waterloo technology and manufacturing corridor. Its bachelor's degrees in computer science, data science and artificial intelligence, engineering and business are approved by the Ontario government and carry the same degree titles as university degrees.
