Fanshawe suspends intakes for more than 40 programs

Fanshawe College has suspended future intakes for 40 programs at its main campus, as well as local intakes for five programs at regional campuses. The programs were selected following a comprehensive review of enrolment trends, financial viability, labour market demand, and post-graduate work permit eligibility. CBC reports that Fanshawe, which previously had one of the largest international student populations in Ontario, is anticipating 64% fewer international students next year. Students who have started their program will be able to complete their studies through a teach-out plan. “These are tough decisions and they were not made lightly,” said Fanshawe President Peter Devlin.
