The Kalamalka Campus of Okanagan College is one of the best kept secrets in British Columbia. Not only do we have one of the most beautiful settings you could have for a postsecondary college, but we have one of the most vibrant cultural communities, too, based on learning, creating and leadership.
We offer a wide spectrum of postsecondary courses that ladder into an even wider spectrum of educational and employment opportunities. You can complete upgrading here; you can pursue career training in the health sector; you can become a professional writer here through our Diploma in Writing and Publishing; you can complete university courses in arts and sciences here and receive associate degrees in both; you can pursue a career in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering; you can pursue pre-apprenticeship training in four trades; you can study business office training and office administration here; you can pursue studies in communications and media; you can study all levels of a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration as part of one of the most successful Business Schools in Canada; you can pursue studies in a variety of diploma and certificate programs in our diverse and vibrant Continuing Studies sector…you can pursue any of these paths, and more, in one of the most breath-taking environments in the world, and alongside some of the most interesting students you will find anywhere.
Our students come from this area of the Okanagan, but also from Japan, Korea and China as part of our International Studies program, and, as a result, the cultural community at The Kalamalka Campus of Okanagan College, its mix of students, faculty and support staff, is diverse and exciting. We have a politically engaged Student Society and a faculty that believes students are more than numbers in a productivity game.
We have been working at these strengths for the past forty years and we have a long legacy of success with students. We are very proud of that legacy. But we also have an exciting future. In the next few years we hope to add a permanent trades facility on site as well as student residences, and we have some innovative developments afoot in Business, in Writing & Publishing, in Communications and Media Studies and in Trades and Health programming. Just keep in touch with our website.
For now, I welcome you to this community, to the vibrant cultural collective of The Kalamalka Campus of Okanagan College, and I hope you choose to be a part of what we celebrate here: people, learning and culture.
