WELCOME TO
NORQUEST COLLEGE
At NorQuest College, we understand the world is
changing and so is learning. We’re writing a new chapter
as a contemporary academic institution that will have a
lasting impact on Alberta and its people, while creating
opportunities for people from all walks of life.
We are leaders in demonstrating how diversity and inclusion
make our communities not only more tolerant and resilient,
but richer. We deliver education that transforms lives
and strengthens communities in innovative, inclusive, and
responsive ways. We maximize opportunities that others
don’t see and believe a college has to be different to
make a difference.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
An inclusive learning experience that champions diversity. Your
uniqueness is what enriches our college, and you will develop
skills in cultural understanding that will ensure your success in
the global community.
A dynamic education that prepares you for your career or next
stage of learning. Our workforce-relevant programs will equip
you with the resources, knowledge, and skills that are highly
desired and valued by employers.
Exceptional faculty who are current and engaged in their
disciplines. Who challenge traditional thinking and methods
of training and education. And, who bring together theory
and practice in innovative and authentic ways.
Accessible and flexible options to welcome you at
any stage of learning. We work to anticipate and respond to
your needs and deliver programs that help meet your career
goals. We’ll meet you where you’re at—if you’re in, we’re in.
