Instruction does not take a back seat at Capilano College... Capilano welcomes all who have a mature desire to learn and are seeking a quality education. 20 - Wednesday, August 7, 1985 - North Shore News Step into your future Capilano College, which serves the com- munities of North and West Vancouver, Howe Sound and the Sunshine Coast, has a great deal to offer to a wide variety of students interested in a wide variety of sub- jects. Two year Career programs offer in- tensive courses instructed by professionals who take time off from their careers in the fields they are teaching in, and students graduate with excellent job opportunities. Academic students can take courses equiva- lent to the first year or two of most “‘pro- fessional’? university programs such as Education, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Medicine, Biochemistry, Agricultural Science or Engineering, as well as the more academic pursuits such as English, Music or History. Instruction does not take a back seai to research, publishing, or any other activities ou the part of faculty members at Capilano College. Our instructors, many of whom have PhD’s in their fields, are at Capilano because they enjoy teaching and are com- mitted to quality instruction. Capilano has no large classes and students are given individual attention. Tutorials, workshops and other methods of small group instruction are favoured. The College’s laboratories are excellently equip- ped, not just for science programs, but also Jabs for Music, Long Term Care,. Art, Media, and many other programs. Ain important consideration for many students from the North Shore is the con- venient location of the college and its rela- lively ‘ow tuition fees. For those wishing to take the first two years of university these are very important considerations; however it is also true that some of Capilano’s Career programs are offered nowhere else in the Lower Mainland or Canada. For part-time or returning students Capilano provides a chance to ‘‘find one’s feet,’? whether uncertain of future plans, looking for a smajler, less anonymous at- mosphere, or needing time to adjust to post-secondary education. The College welcomes all who have a mature desire to learn and extends a special welcome to part- time or older students, wishing to assure them that they should not be intimidated by the prospect of returning to schoo! — they will have plenty of company. fn the final analysis, it is the blend of people -- daculty, staff and students, full- time aud part-time, younger and older, women and men, that gives Capilano a special character and a special strength. Capilano is a serious place for serious students who are seeking a quality education.
