Curriculum Overview
Okanagan College transforms lives and communities. We educate, train and support our students to excel in the workplace, to succeed in further education and to become lifelong learners.
We are the college of first choice; a college which students are proud to attend, where employees are proud to work, and whose graduates are highly valued in the workplace and at other post-secondary institutions.
Our vibrant campus life supports an excellent education for our local, national and international students. We promote the free exchange of ideas and the development and application of critical thinking skills. Our goal is to develop
global citizenship in our community of informed learners.
As leaders in the economic, cultural and intellectual growth of our communities we work collaboratively with all our partners to anticipate and meet education and
labour market needs.

Student success is our first priority.
Learning is at the centre of everything we do. We respect the diverse ways in which our students and employees learn.
We value a culture where employees and students act ethically, conduct themselves with integrity and fairness, and practise open communication.
We cultivate a respectful, integrated and cooperative learning community and value the contributions each of us makes and the support we provide to each other.
We encourage an equitable and accessible environment which promotes, involves and reflects our diverse communities.
We embrace Aboriginal history and tradition and actively encourage participation and involvement by Aboriginal people and communities.
We support access to education for individuals from communities of all sizes.
We are responsible and accountable to our stakeholders in implementing, measuring and evaluating activities to ensure they are effective, efficient and
learner-centred.

The Okanagan Valley is noted for its scenic lake beauty and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best places to live in Canada. The pleasing climate, dry, hot summers and mild winters makes this a perfect year-round destination for students. With vibrant arts and cultural communities, the cities within the Okanagan offer students plenty to experience outside the classroom.
