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. 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. Two year Career pro- grams offer intensive 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 equivalent to the first year or two of most ‘‘profes- sional’ university programs such as Education, Pre-Dentisiry, Pre-Medicine, Biochemistry, Agricultural Science or Engineering, as well as the more academic pursuits such as English, Philosophy or History. instructicn does not take a back seat to research, publishing, or any other activi- ties on 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 committed to quality instruction. Capilano has no large classes and students are given individual attention. Tutoria!s, workshops and other methods of small group instruction are favoured. The College’s laboratories are excellently equipped, not just for Science programs, but also labs for Music, Long Term Care, Art, Media, and many other programs. An important consideration for many students from the North Shore is the con- venient focation of the College and its relatively low tuition fees. For those wishing to take the first two years of uni- versity these are very important con- siderations; however it is also true that some of Capilano’s Career programs are - offered nowhere else in the Lower Main- land or Canada. For part-time or returning students Capilano provides a chance to “find one's feet,’ whether uncertain of future plans, tooking for a smaller, less anonymous at- mosphere, or needing time to adjust to post-secondary education. The College welcomes ail 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 school — they will have plenty of company. In the finat analysis, it is the blend of people — faculty, staff and students, full- time and part-time, younger and older, women and men, that gives Capilano a special character and a special strength. Canilano is a serious place for serious students who are seeking a quality education.
