MEDICINE HAT COLLEGE
Medicine Hat College Founded in 1965, MHC strives to provide the broadest possible range of relevant learning opportunities to the people and communities it serves. As a result, you’ll find we offer a wide choice of programs leading to undergraduate degrees, university transfer, applied degrees, diplomas, certificates, academic upgrading, English as a Second Language (ESL), and apprenticeship. The college offers many unique and specialized programs in addition to those focusing on more traditional career fields. Collaboration and partnership is a hallmark for MHC so you will encounter many programs offered in conjunction with other leading schools. Our focus is right here, close to home, and most of our students come from the surrounding area. But our strong and unique programs draw people from across Canada and around the world. With our emphasis on small classes, high quality instruction and extensive student support, we are proud to offer a very personal educational experience while helping you achieve your goals. Our reach into the Medicine Hat community is broad. Signature events include the annual Rattler Run, one of the most popular 3, 5 and 10 k races in the region. High quality athletics driven by college teams -- known as the Rattlers -- and camps for kids and community outreach in many forms helps keep the college aligned to its community roots.
