Eastern College is a private career college operating in Atlantic Canada, with campuses in Halifax, Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John. The college offers diploma and certificate programs across the faculties of Business, Technology, Healthcare, Law, Supply Chain, and Education. Eastern College is owned by triOS Education Group, whose sister college triOS College operates nine campuses across Southern Ontario.[1]

History

Eastern College was established in 1983 under the name CompuCollege, offering career-focused training programs across Atlantic Canada. Over more than three decades, the college built a reputation for practical, modular training, helping over 30,000 students fast-track to job readiness across its campus network in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

The college was subsequently acquired in 2014 and rebranded as Eastern College, expanding its curriculum across seven faculties. In 2019, triOS Corporation, an Ontario-based private career college operator, announced the purchase of all assets of Eastern College, which at the time operated six career college campuses throughout the Atlantic provinces.[2] Following the acquisition, Eastern College continued to operate under its existing brand name as a sister college to triOS College.
