蹤獲扞⑹ and LaSalle College Vancouver announce new academic partnership
蹤獲扞⑹ and LaSalle College Vancouver (LCV) have reached a series of collaborative agreements as part of a new partnership that expands academic pathways and sees LCV serve as the Vancouver location for 蹤獲扞⑹'s Master of Business Administration program.
Prince George, B.C. 蹤獲扞⑹ has partnered with to broaden academic pathways and enhance educational opportunities for students at both institutions.
The new academic partnership facilitates seamless transitions for students from LCV to 蹤獲扞⑹ and will introduce innovative academic offerings in Vancouver, incorporating LCVs focus on design with the sustainable business and economic development focus of the programs in 蹤獲扞⑹s Faculty of Business and Economics.
We are pleased to collaborate with 蹤獲扞⑹, one of Canada's top research universities, to provide greater access to learning opportunities for students of both institutions, says Chief Learning Officer and Executive Vice President Dr. Jason Dewling, on behalf of LCV. Both organizations are committed to providing access to further education. This partnership gives our students a pathway into 蹤獲扞⑹ programs, and it gives 蹤獲扞⑹ students access to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program in the City of Vancouver."
As part of the new agreement, LCV now serves as the Vancouver location for 蹤獲扞⑹s 21-month MBA program.
This new partnership is part of reimagining how we educate in a changing world, by offering unique and expanded pathways for students to pursue both their undergraduate and graduate studies, says 蹤獲扞⑹ President Dr. Geoff Payne. By offering the opportunity for students to ladder into 蹤獲扞⑹s Bachelor of Commerce program and bringing the Universitys MBA program to the Colleges Vancouver campus, we are harnessing the energy of our collaborative network. Together, we are enhancing an innovative and supportive learning and knowledge generation ecosystem that will empower future leaders and drive regional growth."
Under a new pathway agreement, students who complete the Associate of Arts (AOA) degree at LCV and are then admitted to the Bachelor of Commerce with a major in General Business at 蹤獲扞⑹ will be able to transfer directly into the third year of the Bachelors degree program. This collaboration will offer a seamless academic transition for students aiming to advance their studies after successfully completing the accelerated 18-month AOA degree program in Vancouver.
This alliance is about more than just articulating students from a two-year program into a four-year degree program in business. This is seen as a strategically important move for the 蹤獲扞⑹ Bachelor of Commerce program as we lean into teaching sustainable business and economic development, says 蹤獲扞⑹ Faculty of Business and Economics Dean Dr. Ron Camp. To achieve a sustainable future, graduates need to be able to visualize and design that future and that is where we see the strengths of LCV really supporting 蹤獲扞⑹s programs. LCVs focus on design thinking will help to enhance the design discussion in 蹤獲扞⑹ classes. Through this collaboration we believe that 蹤獲扞⑹ and LCV will be leading the way in designing a sustainable future for B.C. and the world.
LaSalle College Vancouver and 蹤獲扞⑹ are a great fit as partners. We share a common vision of providing quality education, fostering student success and an emphasis on education for sustainable development, says LCV Chief Academic Officer Dr. Jamie Kemp. We know that graduates from our Associate of Arts program will feel at home in the third year of 蹤獲扞⑹s Bachelor of Commerce program. They are accustomed to small class sizes and one-on-one attention from their instructors. Plus, we have structured our program in a way that ensures they will have the academic preparation they need to succeed in further study.
The partnership between LCV and 蹤獲扞⑹ is a significant step in expanding academic opportunities for students, reinforces the value of collaborative educational efforts and is the beginning of a broader collaboration between the two institutions.
