Durham College to Launch Four New Programs in Fall 2024
Durham College (DC) in Oshawa, Ontario, will introduce four new programs in September 2024. These programs are the Law Clerk diploma, Professional Selling and Business Development graduate certificate, Clinical Bioinformatics graduate certificate, and Public Relations graduate certificate. The college aims to equip students with skills and knowledge relevant to current job market demands.
Dr. Jean Choi, Vice President, Academic and Students at DC, stated that there is a growing demand for professionals in these fields.
