Welcome to Cambrian College, the largest college in northeastern Ontario, serving more than 5,000 full-time and part-time students from approximately 70 countries.

We offer more than 100 programs that lead to degrees, post-graduate certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas, certificates, and micro-credentials.

Our main campus is located in Greater Sudbury, northeastern Ontario’s largest city with a population of more than 160,000 people. Sudbury is the education, health care, government services, and retail hub of northern Ontario, and a world-leading community in mining and mining-related industries. In addition to our main campus, we also have satellite sites in the communities of Espanola, Little Current, and Val Caron.

    A new vision for the future!

    We have come a long way as a college under our current “Further Together” strategy. The past five years have seen us move forward powerfully in eight priority areas bringing our goal of being a college of choice to life. It is now time to reflect on our progress and re-imagine our future together as we develop the next set of strategic priorities and strategic plan for the college.
