Associate Diploma Programs

Two-year diploma programs delivered through OAC offer a blend of the theoretical and practical learning designed to prepare graduates to assume a broad range of positions in the agriculture and food industries. All programs provide courses in applied science, business management, production and marketing.

Specific diploma programs offered at more than one campus have standardized core curricula to ensure common standards are maintained. Common core courses are supplemented with electives at all campuses with specific regional specializations. Students may elect to spend a semester (or more) at a different location to access special electives, or to access degree courses at the University.

Diploma programs are provided in English at the main campus in Guelph and at regional campuses in Kemptville and Ridgetown, and in French at the regional campus in Alfred.
