Can You Get a Degree in College in Canada?

Are you looking to pursue higher education in Canada? If so, you may be wondering if it's possible to get a degree from a college. The answer is yes, but it's important to understand the difference between colleges and universities in Canada. Universities are degree-granting institutions that offer bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. They are funded by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, but each university is responsible for governing itself and regulating its own programs, admissions, and teachers.

In contrast, colleges in Canada typically offer different types of programs than universities. While they may offer some degree programs, they are not considered degree-granting institutions. So, if you're looking to pursue a degree in Canada, you'll need to attend a university. However, if you're looking for a more specialized program or certificate, then a college may be the right choice for you.
