A new transfer agreement between College of the Rockies (COTR) and the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) has been announced. The agreement creates a clear pathway to UBCO’s bachelor of arts degree for students in the associate of arts program at COTR.
Students who finish the associate of arts program at College of the Rockies and meet admission requirements can transfer directly into the third year of the bachelor of arts program at UBCO.
The agreement is intended to make it easier for students to continue their education and complete a university degree, expanding opportunities for upper-level studies.
“We are excited about this block transfer agreement as it reinforces our commitment to developing strong and in-demand academic pathways within our region. By collaborating with UBC Okanagan, students have more choice, more flexibility, and a solid foundation for completing a university degree while remaining close to home.” said Stephanie Wells, Dean of University Arts and Sciences.
Starting at College of the Rockies can be more affordable, with smaller classes, lower costs and more personal support before moving on to UBC Okanagan.
The agreement between COTR and UBCO is expected to help students build on their academic foundation and transition into a university degree program.
