Sheridan credentials

Ontario College Certificates
College Certificate programs can generally be completed in one year or less. Some are career-specific; others are Foundation programs. Foundation programs are a stepping-stone to further study in your field of interest. They introduce theory and practice to students who want to assess their talent, build a basic portfolio or skill set, and chart a course for further study.

Diplomas
Diplomas are two-year programs. Some are for a broad base of study, which enables graduates to pursue various career opportunities, and others are more focused as preparation for a specific field of work.

Advanced diplomas
Advanced diplomas are three-year programs. Similar to diploma programs, these programs prepare students with further specialized study. The advanced diploma offers more intense concentration on the subject matter. Graduates from these programs can choose from a variety of career opportunities within their field.

Degrees
These Honours bachelor and bachelor degree programs combine theory and critical thinking with hands-on, applied learning and practical work terms. Top employers compete for our graduates, and entrance into the programs can be highly competitive; we recommend that you apply early.

Graduate certificates
Graduate certificates are one-year programs that generally require applicants to have a postsecondary diploma or degree. In these programs, students hone their skills and earn specialized knowledge to gain a competitive edge in the job market. Many of these programs offer the opportunity to gain practical experience through a work term or practicum.
Find your pathway
The program you start in isn’t always your final destination. Wherever you are in your studies or in your career path, Sheridan has many options for you.

Academic Upgrading
Sheridan’s Academic Upgrading program provides you with the skills you’ll need to satisfy the admissions requirements to apply for a college certificate or diploma program, or improve your job readiness. The program offers flexible Academic and Career Entrance (ACE)-level courses (C-equivalent) in communications, math, biology, chemistry and computers to meet your specific educational needs.
Transfer credits
Pathways provides you with options to advance your academic standing by applying previously earned learning credits to your current program of study. Through our innovative online Advanced Standing application, you apply to transfer credits earned at another recognized postsecondary institution to your Sheridan program. Review the details on our website.
Collaborative/Joint degrees
Collaborative programs are partnerships between Sheridan and its university partners where students study at both institutions. Some collaborative programs allow students to earn credentials from both schools, while others confer graduates with the university credential alone.
