Meet some of our graduates:
"Figuring out your path in life is not easy and having the right guidance can be what sets you apart. This is exactly what the Diploma to Degree program has done for me: they helped me understand myself through attentive, small classes and a variety of resources and support. This program allowed me to explore various subjects and plenty of face time with instructors which helped me figure out what I wanted to do in life. Now, as a grad student at U of T, I look back and find myself grateful to have had that space to grow."
"The Diploma to Degree Program prepared me well for my studies and for life in general. I made great friends and built a network that I believe has set me up for success in the workforce. Often times, after high school, we are expected to know exactly what we want to pursue as a subject, but this doesn’t always happen. The program gave me the chance to explore different subjects at Humber, refine my writing, and then choose a major that I was truly interested in at U of T. I would absolutely recommend the Diploma to Degree Program."
"The Diploma to Degree Program became a beacon of hope when I initially doubted my ability to pursue post-secondary education in Canada. With its smaller class sizes, abundant support, and diverse resources, the program provided an ideal environment for me to explore various courses, discover my passions, and catch up on my studies as a newcomer. The Diploma to Degree Program was instrumental in preparing me for university life."
