Georgian College is an Ontario College of Applied Arts and Technology. Its primary campus is in Barrie, Ontario, with satellite campuses in Orillia and Owen Sound. It operates the Canadian Institute for International Studies in Chandigarh, India, in partnership with Laurentian University.

The main Campus is located on a tree filled 140 acre (570,000 m²) site on the north-east edge of Barrie. The campus serves almost 5,000 full-time students and over 10,000 part-time students. The largest of Georgian College's campuses, Barrie offers a full range of programs in Business and Computer Studies, Transportation Studies, Engineering Technology, General Studies, Design and Visual Arts, Health Sciences and Human Services, Hospitality and Tourism and Post-graduate Studies. A recent addition to the campus is a new Student and Athletic Centre with a tournament-sized gym, a fitness centre, climbing wall, café and lounge with a patio.

The Orillia Campus is located in a beautiful woodland setting just off Highway 11 at the southern end of Orillia. On-site facilities include a 150-seat theatre, racquetball court, gym and weight room. With just over 1,000 students on the campus, it is easy for newcomers to become acquainted with staff and faculty, and students are enthusiastic about the warm and friendly atmosphere they encounter.

The programs at the Orillia Campus are primarily in the Health Sciences and Human Services field. Other programs include Professional Golf Management and Mechanical Technician - Marine and Mechanical Technician - Outdoor Power Equipment, plus several post-graduate programs.

Georgian College is also home to the CAI (Canadian Automotive Institute), the only one of its kind in Canada. The CAI offers diploma courses in Automotive Marketing and Automotive Marketing (Bilingual). In addition to these courses, a Bachelors degree in Automotive Management is also offered. Students of the CAI hold North America's largest outdoor Auto Show every year in the first semester starting in September.
