History
Seneca was founded in 1967 as part of a provincial commitment to building an Ontario-wide network of institutions of applied arts and technology that would provide career-oriented diploma and certificate courses and continuing education programs to communities across the province.
As technology transformed the nature of employment and the provincial economy, the province responded to the growing demand for sophisticated applied learning. General education was a crucial component of higher education, and the breadth of courses is still included in all programs.
Colleges were granted the right to provide baccalaureate degrees in 2001. Seneca is one of just five institutions in the country that can provide up to 15% of its program activities at the degree level.
Values
Seneca's ideals begin with a focus on student achievement in all parts of operations, both inside and beyond the classroom. While this may appear simple and is a starting point widely shared throughout the education system at all levels, Seneca confirms that being student-centered and focused on the success of students and graduates is at the heart of Seneca's principles.
Respect, Excellence, Innovating, Community, and Diversity are essential values at college.
