The Government of British Columbia has a commitment to forging stronger links between the Province and the international community. With greater economic interdependence on a global scale, societies need to work together towards a stable and peaceful world economy. Cultural understanding is an important precursor to increased economic ties, and education is a major vehicle that can enhance these cultural and social bonds.
The education of students from other countries in British Columbia and the education of British Columbian students offshore lay the cultural, personal and economic foundations for improved international relations and economic development. The links established through the educational sector will, over the long term, result in expanded positive international relationships in other sectors of our society, making essential contribution to our social, cultural and economic goals.
The presence of international students at The University College of the Cariboo enriches the educational experience for the overall student body. Study abroad provides opportunities for university students to study and travel in other countries.
University faculty and staff benefit from the renewal and professional development opportunities provided by working within a cross-cultural educational milieu.
