George Brown College, rebranded George Brown Polytechnic in 2026, is a large public college in downtown Toronto, Ontario.
Established in 1967 when the province created Ontario's public college system, it opened in March 1968 with just over 2,000 students and now serves roughly 30,000 full-time and 5,500 part-time students, plus more than 50,000 continuing-education registrants each year; about 44 per cent of students are international. Teaching is spread across three downtown campuses - St.
James, Casa Loma and Waterfront - along with specialty locations including the Sunnybrook hospital site for orthotics and prosthetics, the Young Centre for the Performing Arts and the Fashion Exchange. The college offers about 175 full-time programs spanning certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas, graduate certificates, apprenticeships and honours bachelor's degrees, organized since 2026 into four faculties covering applied science, construction and engineering technology; business, creative industries and culinary arts; community services and interdisciplinary studies; and health sciences.
A member of Polytechnics Canada and a nationally ranked research college, George Brown pairs classroom learning with work-integrated placements built with more than 5,000 industry partners and runs applied-research labs in food innovation, advanced manufacturing and design.
Notable strengths include hospitality and culinary arts, construction management - including Ontario's first internationally accredited four-year construction-management degree - health sciences simulation and early-childhood education, supported by a network of 14 child-care centres and on-campus dental, hearing and wellness clinics. Students can live at The George, the college residence at 80 Cooperage Street.

The figures below cover George Brown College's scale, staffing levels, and academic standing.
Academic Year: Fall (September), Winter (January) and Spring/Summer (May) semesters; the core academic year runs September to April, with a May-August summer semester, and many programs admit in all three start-up months
Admission Requirements: DOMESTIC APPLICANTS — Entry to a certificate, diploma or advanced diploma rests on an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or an equivalent credential, together with the Grade 11 and Grade 12 subject prerequisites printed on each program page. A George Brown bachelor's degree asks for six Grade 12 U or M credits. An Ontario College Graduate Certificate (postgraduate) normally asks for a completed college diploma or a university degree. Applicants schooled outside Ontario must show their standing is equivalent to the OSSD, and domestic applicants holding international transcripts file official documents (with a certified English translation where the originals are in another language) through ontariocolleges.ca. Anyone 19 or older on the first day of class who holds no OSSD may apply with mature-student status and sit the George Brown Admissions Assessment for the missing subjects. Degree programs allow no such testing: a mature degree applicant must actually hold the Grade 12 U prerequisites, be 19 by the first day of class, and be a Canadian citizen, landed immigrant or sponsored by a Canadian government agency — and the Early Childhood Education degree run with Toronto Metropolitan University (C118) sets mature status at 21 with two years away from full-time school instead. Selection is by ranking on grades, so meeting the published minimum does not by itself produce an offer, and competitive programs routinely need marks well above it. INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS — You need senior secondary graduation (a university or college credential for a postgraduate program), the academic requirements George Brown publishes for your own country of origin at your credential level, the non-refundable CAD 110 application fee, and evidence of English. Applicants under 18 also file custodianship documents. International Baccalaureate applicants need six IB courses graded 4 or better for a diploma or certificate, and 5 or better for a degree. Places are assessed selectively and an intake can close once its international enrolment is filled, so submitting an application does not secure a seat. ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (both groups) — The test is waived if your secondary or post-secondary study was completed at a recognised institution teaching in English. Otherwise the minimums differ by credential level. Diploma and certificate programs: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band under 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with at least 20 per band; Duolingo 110 overall with a production score of 90; PTE Academic 54 overall with 50 per band; CAEL 60 overall; Cambridge B2 First, C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency 169 with nothing below 162; MELAB 80; or George Brown EAP Level 8. George Brown bachelor's degrees: IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 per band; TOEFL iBT 84 with at least 21 per band; Duolingo 120 with a production score of 100; PTE 60 with 55 per band; CAEL 70 overall and 60 in writing; Cambridge 176 with nothing below 169; MELAB 85; or EAP Level 9. Postgraduate, fast-track, bridging and master's programs use those same degree-level figures except TOEFL, which rises to 88 with at least 22 per band. Scores stay valid for two years up to the program start date, while the George Brown Admissions Test is valid for one year. Five programs refuse language-test results altogether and require the English course credit itself: Dental Technology (S100), Denturism (S101), Practical Nursing (S121), Dental Hygiene (S134) and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (S318). Individual programs may demand scores above these floors. HOW TO APPLY — Domestic students do not apply to the college directly; they use Ontario's central ontariocolleges.ca system, where one non-refundable CAD 150 application covers up to five program choices with no more than three at any single college. International students apply in George Brown's own online international application and pay CAD 110.
