College of the Rockies and UBC Highlight Transfer Pathways in Health Sciences
College of the Rockies hosted representatives from the University of British Columbia (UBC) for an information session on transfer opportunities to UBC’s Faculties of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Medicine. The event took place on Wednesday, November 5 at the College’s Cranbrook campus.
“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.”
The session will give current and prospective students an opportunity to learn about transfer pathways from the College’s Associate of Science and Associate of Science in Biology and Pre-Medicine programs to degree programs at UBC.
“Our alumni often tell us that the academic rigor 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 an excellent choice.”
Anyone interested in learning more about beginning their studies at College of the Rockies before transferring to UBC’s Pharmaceutical Sciences or Medicine programs was welcome to attend the free session.
