Page 2 Fall 1982 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. Introduction... North Americans have finally begun to get away from the “Texas syndrome” — the idea that “bigger” is necessarily “bet- ter,” and in no area is that change more clearly demonstrated than in education at community colleges. People learn best in small groups where they can participate and receive individual attention. The opportunity for learning in a university class of 250 can in no way compare to that in a college class of 30 instructed by a pro- fessor who is there because he or she is pri- marily interested in students. Capilano College, which serves the communities of North and West Van- couver, Howe Sound and the Sunshine Coast, has a great deal to offer to a wide variety of students interested in a wide variety of subjects. Academic students can take courses equivalent to the first year or two of most “professional” university programs such as Education, Pre- Dentistry, Pre-Medicine, Biochemistry, Agricultural Science or Engineering, or can take the first two years of a General Arts or Science degree. Two year Career programs offer intensive courses in- structed by professionals who take time off from their careers in the fields they are teaching in, and students graduate with excellent job opportunities. An important consideration for many students from the North Shore is the con- venient location of the college and its rela- tively low 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 clse in the Lower Mainland or Canada. For part-time; or returning students Capilano provided-a nce to “find one’s fect,” whether uncertain\of future plans, looking for a smaller, less) anonymous at- mosphere, or needing time to adjust to post-secondary cducation\ The College welcomes all who have a mature desire to learn and cxtends a special welcome to part-time or older students, wishing to assure them that they should aot be intimi- dated by the prospect of returning to school — there will be picnty of company This year’s winner of the Canadian Studics Scholarship bas becn a4 part-time student here for ten years, and tho winner of the Lieutenant Governor's medal for academic excellence was a woman who retumed to school after 30 ycars as a housewife.
