About the University/College
Columbia College (CC), formerly a private college, was founded in 1936
and offered high school completion programs to hundreds of students, including
war veterans. As CC expanded, ESL and university transfer programs were
added to accommodate the growing numbers of international students coming
to the west coast of Canada; CC’s current student body is drawn from
over 40 countries around the world. CC now offers eight certificate and
diploma programs and over 125 courses in its University Transfer, Intensive
ESL and Senior Secondary Programs.
The University Transfer Program is on a three semester basis. Students
usually complete 12 or 15 credits per semester. Students who have successfully
completed a secondary school program, or equivalent, may enter the program.
First- and second-year university levels can be taken at CC and are fully
transferable to universities.
Vancouver is the largest city in western Canada and enjoys a temperate
climate year-round that rarely drops below zero degrees Celsius. Vancouver
is a safe and clean cosmopolitan city of nearly two million people featuring
shopping, fine dining, cultural facilities and an extensive public transportation
system. Columbia College recently moved to a new building situated in
the heart of downtown Vancouver. CC offers an extensive homestay program
for international students or the option of living in private accommodations
in Vancouver.
