The province of Ontario, in Canada, has two types of community colleges: Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning. Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology do not focus on degree studies, but offer diploma programs (which may be either two or three years in length) and certificate programs (which are usually one year or less in duration). Some courses of study lead to official certifications in skilled trades that are regulated by professional associations. Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning offer a limited number of degree programs, either in conjunction with a nearby university or on their own.
Most of these colleges were founded in 1967, when the provincial government felt a strong need for this level of study.
They are listed below by their short name, along with the city where their main campus is located. Institutes are marked with a *.
Colleges marked with a † are French language schools.
One francophone college, Toronto's Collège des Grands-Lacs, ceased operations in 2002.
