Columbia College, established in 1936, is one of Canada’s oldest and most respected international private colleges, located in Vancouver, British Columbia. The college is best known for its university transfer programs and associate degrees in Arts and Science, which allow students to complete the first one or two years of university-level study before transferring to top universities such as the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. In addition, it offers a senior secondary (high school) program, a university foundations program for academic preparation, and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses for students needing language support. The modern campus on Terminal Avenue features advanced science labs, a library, student lounges, and easy access to public transit, making it a convenient and supportive study environment. With three annual intakes in January, May, and September, Columbia College provides flexibility for international students. Admission is accessible, requiring proof of English proficiency (IELTS 6.0 or equivalent for undergraduate entry), and tuition fees generally average around CAD 16,000–17,000 per year, with living expenses in Vancouver adding to the overall cost. Known for its diverse student body, supportive academic atmosphere, and strong transfer pathways, Columbia College is a popular choice for international learners seeking a high-quality entry point into Canadian higher education.
