University classes

Full-time or part-time Starts: September and January (most courses) Fees: $2,893 (one year of arts courses); $3,530 (one year of science courses) Prince George All courses available at Prince George campus; many at Lakes, Nechako, and Quesnel I want to get a university degree. Can I start at CNC? Denitely. We offer dozens of university-level courses. A bachelors degree (also known as an undergraduate degree) usually takes four years. Many people take the rst two years at a community college such as CNC, then transfer to university for years 3 and 4. Advantages of starting at a community college include smaller classes, more one-on-one attention from instructors, and lower tuition fees. Associate degrees We offer associate degrees in arts and science, featuring two years of university-level study in a variety of academic subjects. These degrees transfer into university programs, and give you preferential admission at UNBC and SFU. All public universities and universitycolleges in BC give special recognition of transfer credit to students with associate degrees. See Arts, Associate Degree and Science, Associate Degree elsewhere in this calendar. A diploma gives you recognition Like an associate degree, a diploma can be equivalent to the rst two years of a university degree in that particular subject. With a diploma, you can go to work immediately, or transfer to university. If you decide to work, a diploma gives you more options in the workplace. We offer diplomas in accounting and nance, criminology, human kinetics, marketing and management, social work, and more. What do you mean by transfer courses? Since CNC offers only the rst two years of instruction, you need to transfer to a university to nish your degree. You transfer the credits you receive for CNC courses to a university and continue on to complete your degree. When you take a course from one of our instructors, its as though you were sitting in the same class at (for example) UNBC, UVic, or Thompson Rivers University. For example, if you complete our introductory psychology course, a university will give you credit for its introductory course. To ensure your credits transfer seamlessly, CNC has formal agreements in place with the following BC universities: Athabasca University Emily Carr University Kwantlen Polytechnic University University of British Columbia University of Northern British Columbia Simon Fraser University Thompson Rivers University University of Victoria Vancouver Island University You can also transfer to universities in other provinces, and internationally talk to a CNC counsellor or advisor for details. Once you have your bachelors degree, you have the option to go on and obtain a masters degree (M.A. or M.Sc.) or a doctorate (Ph.D.). University transfer information (BCCAT) Students planning to transfer their credits to another institution should consult the British Columbia Transfer Guide to verify transferability of credits. The British Columbia Transfer Guide is published by the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer and is available online. CNC counsellors/advisors will assist students in selecting transferable courses; however, the nal responsibility for course selection rests with the student. The British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) website is located at www.bctransfer guide.ca Admission requirements 1. Successful completion of Grade 12 (with English 12 or English 12: First Peoples) or ABE/CCP Advanced Certicate or GED Certicate or completion of Grade 11, with an outstanding academic record, in the year of application. Note 1: It is strongly recommended that high school students consult their counsellors to ensure they select the most appropriate high school courses for their chosen career paths. Note 2: Students who have received less than a B grade in English 12 or its equivalent are strongly encouraged to select English 103 as their rst University Credit English course. Note 3: The GED certicate meets the general admission requirements but does not meet specic program or course prerequisites. Note 4: You will need to comply with the prerequisites of the specic courses you select. Note 5: Students applying for admission to Math 101, CSC 109, PHYS 101, or CHEM 111 who have obtained a C+ grade or less in Principles of Math 12 (interim grade) or Math 050 will be registered in Math 100. Note 6: Students attending in 2013 who intend to enrol in MATH 101, CSC 109, PHYS 101 or CHEM 111 and who obtained a C+ or less in Pre-calculus 12 (interim grade) or Math 050 will be registered in MATH 100.
