Outcomes-based rankings, backed by CourseCompare\u2019s proprietary global learner data, set national benchmarks amid significant shifts in Canadian education<\/em><\/p>\n

TORONTO, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CourseCompare<\/u><\/a>, Canada\u2019s marketplace for education, which serves more than two million prospective students from more than 100 countries each year, has released its 2025 rankings of the best schools and programs in Canada. This year\u2019s rankings examine over 45 categories including business schools<\/u><\/a>, online universities<\/u><\/a>, trade schools<\/u><\/a>, and co-op programs<\/u><\/a>, plus 10 new rankings including top universities<\/u><\/a>, medical schools<\/u><\/a>, and beauty schools<\/u><\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cSweeping changes to international study permits, along with inflation and growing concerns about the impact of AI on the job market, are driving institutions to rethink priorities and focus on programs that deliver specialized skills and measurable career outcomes,\u201d said Robert Furtado, CEO of CourseCompare. \u201cOur 2025 rankings help students navigate these shifts and enroll in schools and programs best positioned to meet the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Changes in international student demand captured by CourseCompare between 2023 and 2024 were striking: a 16% drop in international student inquiries\u2014including a 51% decline from India\u2014highlights the sector\u2019s urgent need for new strategies, such as enhanced government support and innovative, student-centered offerings, to navigate these challenges.<\/p>\n

CourseCompare\u2019s global learner data also revealed growing demand for programs that deliver clear career outcomes, fueled by economic pressures, rising tuition costs, and a rapidly evolving job market. Shorter, more flexible options\u2014such as certificates and microcredentials\u2014are gaining popularity, offering targeted training at lower costs and faster completion times. Meanwhile, demand for online and hybrid programs continued to expand across training types.<\/p>\n

Reflecting these changes, CourseCompare\u2019s dynamic, data-driven methodologies<\/u><\/a> capture the evolving needs of students and the distinct characteristics of each discipline, setting it apart from other rankings produced nationally or internationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe education sector in Canada is at a crossroads, challenged by shifting policies and evolving student expectations and labour market demands,\u201d said Furtado. \u201cCourseCompare\u2019s 2025 rankings are a guide for students and a tool for institutions, helping them adapt to meet student and industry needs while driving meaningful improvement across this vital Canadian industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s rankings evaluated enrollment data, job placement rates, thousands of verified student ratings for faculty, curriculum, career support, and the overall learning experience, alongside employer reputation scores, graduate salaries, and graduation rates. Newly introduced categories, such as the best universities and medical schools, featured customized methodologies designed to address the unique priorities and opportunities within these fields, ensuring highly relevant and actionable insights for prospective students.<\/p>\n
