Another GTA College Reduces Programs and Staff Amid International Student Cap Cuts
The college will suspend enrolment in 49 full-time programs for the 2025 summer, fall, and 2026 semesters, as outlined on its official website.
Centennial College, a prominent post-secondary institution in Toronto, has announced significant adjustments to its academic offerings in response to funding challenges and the federal cap on international student admissions. The college will suspend enrolment in 49 full-time programs for the 2025 summer, fall, and 2026 semesters, as outlined on its official website.
Programs affected include financial planning, journalism, technology foundations, and community development work. However, students currently enrolled in these programs will continue receiving support until graduation, according to Craig Stephenson, Centennial’s president and CEO.
“We are doing what we must to position the college for long-term sustainability, so that we can keep producing job-ready graduates aligned with labour market needs and continue to serve our communities,” Stephenson stated.
He acknowledged the challenging nature of these decisions, noting that staff and faculty reductions would be inevitable. “It doesn’t diminish the profound and regrettable impact program suspensions will have on our community… We are proceeding with care as we work through what this means for our people,” he added.
Centennial will maintain admissions for 128 full-time programs and has left the door open for potentially reinstating suspended programs in the future.
