Last year at this time there were 1763 confirmations for first year programns compared to 1903 confirmations this year. "One reason for the increase can be attributed in part to thrce new programs that Durham is offering this year," said West- Moynes. "Human Services Counsellor, Mechanical Engineering Technician and Mecbtronics have been added to the post-secondary programs offered at Durham College." "The Human Services Counsellor, two year diploma program has been filled, but there are still openings in the new two year Mechanical Engineering Technician diploma program as well as the new three year Mechtronics diploma program. Other Technology programs including Civil Technician (2 years), Electrical Engineering Technician (2 years), Environmental Technology (3 years), and Food and Drug Technology (3 years) stili have some openingsavailable." There are also openings available in many other Durham College programs. Food and Beverage Management, a two year diploma stili has limited openings. The General Arts and Science program which can lead to a one year certificate or a two year diploma has been expanded to accommodate more students. This program is ideal for those who are entering college as mature students, those who want a general education diploma, or for those who have not made a career choice yet. Business Administration programs leading to both two and three year diplomas, still have some openings available. Durham College also allows direct entry into second year of some programs for university graduates, as well as credits for courses taken previously. e Durham College programn credits are accepted towards university degrees through the many partnerships that Durham College has with universities, including Trent, Ryerson, Wilfred Laurier, and Guelph. One partnership with Guelph University allows graduates from the Food and Drug Technology, program at Durham College to enter directly into second year of the Food Sciences degree program with 15 credits. The partnership also reserves 15 spaces for Durham College transfer students.11 Durham College post- secondary programs are open to high- school and university graduates as well as mature students (assessed on an indivîdual basis).
