Programs
UCW offers Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Arts and MBA degrees. University Canada West offers entrance requirements for students with a GPA of 65% or higher, and can accept credit for previous studies and work experience in the Degree Completion and MBA programs. (In comparison, major BC universities' GPA requirements are: low 80s for UBC Vancouver and mid-70s for UBC Okanagan, 70%-80% for UVic, and 80-90% for SFU.) The academic year was originally organized into four ten-week terms, but changed to five eight-week terms in September 2009. Students are able to complete four courses of 40 contact hours each in a term. Degree Completion and MBA programs can be completed on campus or online. University Canada West is listed in the British Columbia Credit Transfer system, but it is only listed as a "recipient," and not as a "sender," of transferable university credits. When the Victoria campus went out of business in 2011, students reported that UCW credits would be not be transferred or transferred on a case by case basis. This was controversial because allegedly students were told when they paid for classes that credits were transferable even though the BC transfer website says they are not.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
