Seneca Polytechnic introduces first three-year degree programs in its history

The three degrees are now open for applications for 2024-25

TORONTO (August 26, 2024) -- Seneca Polytechnic is introducing the first three-year bachelor’s degrees in its history as part of a slate of eight new programs for the 2024-25 academic year.

The Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Science – Cosmetic Science programs draw on Seneca’s strong history of providing a great polytechnic education, offering students a combination of academic rigour and career-based education that will prepare them for success.

These three-year degrees are among the first to be offered in Ontario by a postsecondary institution other than a university, having received approval from the Minister of Colleges and Universities this summer.

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. The three-year degrees also offer seamless pathways to further studies at Seneca and beyond.

“Seneca is proud to add three-year degrees to our robust portfolio of credentials,” said Marianne Marando, Vice-President, Academic and International. “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.”
