Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology

Seneca Polytechnic is a multi-campus public college based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, established in 1967. Its core mission is to provide career-related education and training, offering a blend of academic rigor and practical, professional skills to prepare students for successful employment. The institution operates across multiple campuses in the Greater Toronto Area and Peterborough, with its main campus located at 1750 Finch Avenue East in Toronto.

Seneca Polytechnic offers a comprehensive range of over 145 full-time and 135 part-time programs, including baccalaureate degrees, diplomas, certificates, and graduate certificates. These programs span diverse areas of study such as business, technology, health sciences, media, community services, aviation, engineering, and liberal arts. The institution emphasizes experiential learning opportunities, including co-op placements, internships, and career search assistance, alongside extensive student support services like academic advising, career counselling, and international student support.

Under the leadership of President David Agnew since 2009, Seneca Polytechnic continues to evolve its offerings and partnerships. Recent initiatives include a deepened collaboration with Microsoft to advance AI learning, featuring a new AI lab launched in January 2026, and a partnership with North York General in April 2026 to address healthcare talent gaps. The institution also introduced a Master of Artificial Intelligence Design & Development program in February 2026. However, in late 2024, Seneca Polytechnic announced the temporary closure of its Markham campus due to anticipated decreases in international student enrollment following federal government policy changes. Seneca Polytechnic positions itself as a leader in polytechnic education, focusing on sophisticated career-based training.
