College Courses Take On Many Forms Depending on Your
Future Goals
The type of program you will apply for at post-secondary level will depend on a few factors.
Firstly, what type of previous education do you have? Are you a student who just graduated
from high school? Are you returning to school after previously completing a college
education? Did you graduate from high school years ago and are returning to school for the
first time? Additionally, you will want to consider your future goals. Do you plan to go right
into the field for which you train? Have you thought about attending additional classes
beyond college? Do you hope to complete some of your studies at college level and some at
university?
Once you figure out the type of education that is suited for you, it will be easier to pick the
type of college courses that will benefit you most. At Centennial College, students have 100
full-time programs and 140 part-time programs to choose from that range in length,
admission requirements and ultimate credentials.
Full-time: These programs and courses see students attending class on campus five times
a week and gaining a solid balance of theory and practical application in areas such as:

diploma or equivalent or take an entrance test.
Part-time: For those who have other obligations, part-time programs feature courses that
can be taken during evenings and weekends, online or through print-based correspondence.
Students complete various assignments and must take a number of examinations to
graduate.

program like Advertising – Media Management.
Fast-Track: These types of programs see students who previously attended a post-
secondary institution or have worked in a particular field enter a program at a point that
allows them to skip a predetermined number of semesters. For example, those attending the
fast-track Journalism program enter the offering during the third of six semesters.
Co-op: Full-time programs offer options that see students working in the field prior to
graduation and actually earning money as though they were employees. Co-op typically
takes place between semesters.
Apprenticeship: Taking an earn-while-you learn approach, these programs typically cater
to students who want to enter a trade and more specifically in the transportation industry.
Joint programs: These programs feature college courses that are completed both at
Centennial College and at partner universities Ryerson University and the University of
Toronto. Students benefit from theoretical and practical courses that result in a degree.
University and college prep: In order to prepare students with credentials they need to
enter programs of their choices are college and university prep classes that focus on
personal, academic and professional attitudes and skills.
