Your international education destination
Having traveled to all 7 continents, I’ve had the good
fortune to learn from the people and cultures in 68
countries. As Mohawk welcomes students from around
world, I appreciate the chance to bring our cultures
together. With our college programs in Healthcare,
Technology, Business and more, students from over
70 countries have found Mohawk to be a welcoming
international community and a great place
to learn and live.
– Ron McKerlie, President, Mohawk College
At Mohawk we celebrate cultures through our students,
faculty and staff. With an appreciation for diversity, we've
created a unique international community. Our new
programs, delivered through the Language & Culture
Centre, allow us to adapt to new ways of learning while
welcoming multiple perspectives, experiences and skills.
We look forward to learning more about your culture
while you're learning more about ours.
– Keith Monrose, Dean – International & Partnerships,

Mohawk College’s catalogue of more than 125 programs allows students to choose from a wide range
of options, from studying the latest in aircraft technology to understanding the beating of the human
heart to learning what it takes to start a new business.
As important as the programs we offer, is how they’re offered. At Mohawk education starts in the
classroom, but preparation for the working world continues through hands-on learning in laboratories
and simulated work environments, through applied research projects, and on co-operative work
placements (often paid positions). The opportunity to combine a college diploma with a university
degree, or to earn both credentials simultaneously, is made possible through the partnership between
Mohawk College and McMaster University. For information on all your options, visit our calendar at
