University Transfer Program

University Transfer means one post-secondary institution recognizes education completed at another, it allows students the flexibility to start their university studies in one program or at one institution and complete it at another. The University Transfer Program enables students to explore a variety of courses based on their own interests at the first- and second- year university level. Importantly, the credits received allow students to either complete their studies at Coquitlam College through our two-year Associate of Arts Degree or apply for transfer to the second or third year of a Bachelor’s Degree program at research universities or other degree-granting institutions in British Columbia and across Canada.

The University Transfer Program caters to the ambitions of every student, whether the area of interest is Communications, Business, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science or a variety of other areas of study within the Faculty of Arts. Coquitlam College students have the option to complete or to continue their studies by applying for transfer to any of the colleges or universities listed on the B.C. Transfer Guide. Students, both local and international, who don’t meet entrance requirements set by the universities can begin their post-secondary studies at Coquitlam College.
