Applied Research

Seneca utilizes Applied Research, Case Building, Modes of Delivery, Experiential Learning and Internationalization in our programs and courses in order to provide our students with the best learning experiences.

At Seneca, we know that Applied Research is relevant to industry and our applied research is driven by faculty and focused on students. Seneca Applied Research is a point of access for industry and/or community partners who wish to engage in economically, socially and educationally relevant collaborative applied research projects with Seneca faculty and students. To learn more about our research specializations and centres, research projects, funding opportunities, please visit the Seneca webpage.

Case Building

Through Case Building, Seneca invites our most successful alumni to share their cases, short stories, of real decisions within organizations. Case building helps students become better problem solvers and brings real life into the classroom.  For more information, please visit the Case Development Centre webpage.

Modes of Delivery

Seneca is excited to offer more flexible learning options than ever before. Seneca has four formats: online, in person, hybrid* (a mix of online and in-person), and flexible (delivered both online/in person and students can choose how to access the content). For more in-depth descriptions of the four modes of delivery, please visit the Seneca webpage.

*Hybrid Delivery at Seneca:

Seneca’s Hybrid program definition:

Some parts of the program or course are online and other parts are in person. Students will need to come to campus for part of their program or course.

Seneca’s Hybrid course definition:

Hybrid courses are a mix between online remote work and in-person work.

All hybrid courses at Seneca will have:

• • a minimum of 50% of in-person instruction (50% of course hours)
  • a minimum of 30% of online interactive engagement
  • the weekly delivery pattern communicated to the students at the start of the course via an addendum
  • any changes in delivery discussed with the Chair
  • the weekly delivery pattern scheduled in PeopleSoft so that students see the delivery reflected on their timetable
