More virtual information sessions coming up this month from COTR

More virtual information sessions are coming this month from the College of the Rockies(COTR).

The new series of sessions is aimed at those interested in the criminal and social justice diploma, humanities and social sciences certificates, pre-education, fine arts and arts programs, or sustainable business programs.

“Whether you’re looking to explore university-level education through a certificate, earn a diploma before continuing on to further education or to employment, or complete a full four-year degree, College of the Rockies has options available,” said Stephanie Wells, Dean of Business and University Arts and Sciences. 

The college highlights the value of starting locally, pointing to a range of learning opportunities, consistent academic performance, strong degree completion rates and potential tuition savings. In the first two years at COTR, students can save between $4,000 and $5,500 compared with several B.C. and southern Alberta universities.

“No matter what education level you’re pursuing, choosing College of the Rockies provides tremendous benefits in building academic success through experiential learning, co-operative work term opportunities, and supports that develop the confidence needed for long-term achievement,” said Wells.

These virtual info sessions are free to attend and can give insight into the programs, college life, and what to expect during the journey to a degree.

The March sessions are:

  • March 11 – Criminal and Social Justice
  • March 12 – Pre-Education, Fine Arts, and Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences certificates
  • March 18 –Sustainable Business Programs
