College of the Rockies will host representatives from the University of British Columbia for an information session on transfer opportunities to UBC’s faculties of pharmaceutical sciences and medicine.
The session is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in Room KC250 at the Cranbrook campus.
The session is open to both current and prospective students. It will cover how students in the College’s Associate of Science and Associate of Science in Biology and Pre-Medicine programs can transfer into degree programs at UBC.
“Vicky Chan, assistant director of student services in UBC’s faculty of pharmaceutical sciences, reached out after noticing an increase in applications from College of the Rockies students,” said Stephanie Wells, dean of university sciences. “We’re excited to highlight the strong academic foundation our students gain here and how well it prepares them for success at UBC.”
Anyone interested in pursuing a career in pharmaceutical sciences or medicine and looking for a supportive, affordable place to start their university journey.
“Our alumni often tell us that the academic rigour of our programs, extensive lab experience and close faculty connections prepare them exceptionally well for the academic requirements of university,” Wells added. “Combined with smaller class sizes, financial savings and time to explore their academic interests, it’s clear that starting at the college is an excellent choice.”
