Third and fourth year university courses will likely be offered at Cariboo and Okanagan Colleges, two of the province's traditional two-year colleges, commencing next fall, and Capilano College faculty believe they are well-placed for a similar development. “Negotiations between the two interior colleges, the universities and the government to work out details of the courses to be offered are nearing completion and an an- nouncement by Stan Hagen, the Minister for Advanced Education and Job Training is expected soon,’’ Camfield said. The move to degree completion at some colleges is an attempt to provide greater access to higher education in the province. Camfield said an estimated 15,000 additional university places are needed next year to meet the demand across the province. The universities will only be able to accommodate four or five thou- sand of the places so the ministry is looking at college expansion to meet the need. According to the faculty association, the success of Capilano’s two-year university transfer and career programs, their highly qualified faculty and the high participation rate of the cel- lege's population base in post- secondary education make the ex- pansion to a four-year degree completion college very desirable. The college has also submitted @ $21 million facilities expansion plan to the ministry which would enable the expected growth to be accommodated. The CCFA has formed a stand- ing committee with representatives from al! areas of the college to in- vestigate, lobby and collaborate with the college administration and local community leaders for the Tae oo development of an eventual degree-granting institution.
