Westervelt College is now Anderson College

We are excited to welcome the students and staff of  Westervelt College!  The process of making Westervelt College a part of Anderson College has been in the works behind the scenes for a while and today we are very happy that Westervelt is finally joining us at Anderson.

This is a thrilling opportunity for Anderson College as we will now be able to accommodate students in Southwestern Ontario and offer additional programs. As Anderson College grows, our main priority remains our students and consistently extending advantages, such as those available with this expansion, to them.

Since Westervelt College is now Anderson College, we want to answer some of the questions you may have and to share the adventure ahead with you!

Firstly, who is Anderson College?

How will this change affect my diploma?

Westervelt students will now become Anderson students/graduates and as such will receive an Anderson College diploma. Westervelt programs will become Anderson College programs. And as has always been the case, Anderson College programs are recognized or accredited by various organizations across Canada, testifying to the quality of our curricula. Anderson College is also one of the first private career colleges to offer digital diplomas to students.
