Continuing Studies’ hallmark is the leadership role it plays in creating bridges between the University and the community. Continuing Studies acts as a welcoming portal for the University because its programs introduce many adult, online and non-traditional learners to a university environment. 91ÅÝܽ offers graduate degrees, undergraduate and degree completion programs, and selected certificate programs at its Vancouver and Surrey campuses. It also offers specialized short courses, seminars, workshops and conferences developed from University and community resources.
Participants in the latter category are not required to be formally admitted to the University, although some programs have their own admission requirements. As a rule, there are no examinations and no university credit is awarded. In every other way these programs meet the high standards of university level instruction.
The University awards certificates for selected credit-free programs that have been approved by senate and meet specific criteria, including a minimum of 120 contact hours and formal evaluation.
Programs are held during the day, evening and on weekends. They are taught by faculty from the University, business, the arts and the professions.
For detailed information, or to enquire about in-house programs which can be developed for companies and organizations, see the Continuing Studies section, or call Continuing Studies at 778.782.5100.
