History

edit

Coquitlam College was established in 1982 as an International college, initially offering senior high school and first- and second-year university studies, but formal English Studies courses were added in 1986.[3] In 1991, Coquitlam College was one of the first private colleges to be added to the BC Transfer Guide,[4] an initiative overseen by the BCCAT to facilitate course credit transfer among post-secondary institutions.[5][6] In 2013 Coquitlam College was authorized[7] to offer the Associate of Arts Degree[8]
