Overview
Columbia College's University Transfer Programs offer first and second year university courses for transfer to major universities across Canada and the United States.
Over the years, Columbia College has consistently been one of the top three providers of international students to the University of British Columbia. Columbia College also sends large numbers of students to Simon Fraser University, Vancouver's other major university.
Students in Columbia College's university transfer programs benefit from small class sizes and extra interaction with instructors. Statistics compiled by the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer show that Columbia College students have an above average university admission and degree completion rate.
In most university programs, the first year is a general year in which students choose a broad range of courses in addition to courses in their area of specialization. Specialization does not usually begin until the second year. A pre-Commerce year has been introduced in several universities. Depending on the university to which a student may go, a one-year transfer program at Columbia College usually fulfills requirements for the pre-professional degree program (such as Commerce) or for the first year of a four-year degree program (such as Economics).
The University Transfer Communication Program is appropriate for students who wish to specialize in Applied Media, Public Policy, Telecommunications, and Marketing Research. Careers in Communications are numerous: journalist, editor, public relations expert, media consultant, advertising director, producer, film editor, media researcher, public policy consultant, media broadcaster.
