General University Studies

Not sure about your academic strengths and interests? At Selkirk you can sample from well over one hundred university arts and sciences courses. Register in a single course, or transfer a full two years of university credit to universities in British Columbia and beyond. Students who do not have the prerequisites for the courses they want may upgrade by taking university preparatory courses along with selected university courses in their program.

Two Year Programs

Selkirk College offers two year university transferable associate degree and diploma programs in many disciplines, including Arts, Sciences, and Engineering. In most cases you can earn the first two years of a four year bachelor degree here at Selkirk, and then transfer directly into the third year of degree programs at BC universities.

Bachelor's Degree Programs

In addition, degrees in General Studies, Nursing and Teacher Education are offered in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia. It is now possible for you to complete your university degree right here in the Kootenays!
