University Transfer Program

Coquitlam College specializes in preparing students to excel at North American Universities

Our university transfer program caters to the ambitions of every student, whether you want to go into business, economics, engineering, computer science or another area of study that you are passionate about. And our graduates are definitely passionate: over 90% of them go on to complete their university degrees.

We offer one-year certificates in business, science and the arts and two-year diplomas in business and the arts (including economics). Coquitlam College also offers a two-year Associate of Arts Degree. All of these are readily transferable to degree programs at universities across Canada, as well as in the United States and beyond.

In British Columbia, our students often go on to complete degrees at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, the University of Northern British Columbia or Royal Roads University. For several years, our relationship with the University of British Columbia in particular has ensured the smooth transition of our students to UBC programs.

Our course content and governing regulations are modelled on British Columbia’s research universities as defined by the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT). We regularly review both to ensure that we maintain the highest standards expected by these institutions.

Associate of Arts Degree

Associate of Arts Degree students who are in a full time program are eligible to work up to 20 hours per week. Upon completion of the degree, full–time students are eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). After completing the first year of full–time work, graduates are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
