Olds College is a provincially and industry sector focused, board-governed, public post-secondary institution operating in Alberta. It provides apprenticeship technical training, certificates, diplomas, applied degrees, and baccalaureate degrees designed to meet the needs of both learners and the Province of Alberta.
As the expertise and facilities at Olds College are both specialized and unique, including a significant land base for hands-on and work integrated learning, the College draws its student base from across the Province of Alberta, Canada and internationally.
It collaborates with other post-secondary institutions, (through Campus Alberta Central) to support regional access to polytechnic education. It undertakes research and scholarly activities that align with the credentials it offers and are focused on strengthening economic development in the Province.
While the College operates as a specialized agriculture technical institution for the Province of Alberta, it is currently designated as a comprehensive community college under the authority of the Post-secondary Learning Act (PSLA).
