College Enrolment Headcounts by Program and Institution 1996-2011

Aggregated enrolment headcounts for college students in Ontario are provided by program type, institution, and campus. Data spans 16 years from 1996 to the 2011-12 academic year, based on fall enrolment counts. The dataset originates from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities' College NoName Program Enrolment Reporting system.

Use Cases

Strengths
