Seneca introduces three-year degree programs

Seneca Polytechnic is launching the first three-year bachelor’s degrees in its history.

The Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Science – Cosmetic Science are among the first to be offered in Ontario by a postsecondary institution other than a university after Seneca received approval from the Minister of Colleges and Universities this summer.

“These programs include industry-informed experiential learning opportunities and the transferrable human skills that will give our graduates a competitive advantage today and if they decide to change careers in the future,” says Marianne Marando, Vice-President, Academic and International.

The new programs feature a shorter path to completion than four-year honours degrees and more accessible admission requirements. Qualified applicants can be admitted with Ontario high school credits from the C, M and U levels.

Seneca is also introducing two new diploma programs and three new graduate certificate programs this fall: Business Management, Marketing & Communications Strategy, Medical Esthetics Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physiotherapist Assistant and Visual Content Creation.

Applications are now open for the new programs and more than 300 additional credentials available at Seneca, with start dates in September 2024, January 2025 and May 2025. Learn more at senecapolytechnic.ca.
