Seneca Polytechnic has announced a new academic partnership with the Continental Institute for International Studies (CIIS) in Punjab, India.

Under the partnership, students will complete their first year in India and the final two years at Seneca in Toronto, gaining access to Seneca’s applied learning environment and global career opportunities. The partnership also includes academic advising, English language support and cultural readiness workshops to ensure a smooth transition.
