Twelve Reasons to Consider Sprott-Shaw

Choosing where you will study for your degree is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Sprott-Shaw Degree College is one of the institutions whose programmes, teaching staff and location you should consider in making that decision. Here's why.

1. All SSDC degree programs have been quality-approved by the Degree Quality Assessment Board of the Province of British Columbia;

2. Sprott-Shaw degree programs are especially designed to have a global focus, a focus that should prove especially useful to international students when they return home;

3. Though SSDC is a relatively new institution, its parent company has been offering educational programmes since 1903;

4. Classes at Sprott-Shaw are much smaller and much more focused on meeting the needs of individual students than those offered at most other post-secondary institutions;

5. Instructors at SSDC, almost all of whom have extensive "real world" experience, are, first and foremost, dedicated and effective teachers committed to creating a "student-centered" learning environment;

6. High quality English as a Second Language instruction is available to those students who need it either to enter a program or to improve their English as they work toward their degree;

7. Sprott-Shaw Degree College has established transfer relationships with other educational institutions to which students can apply after completing their first two years at SSDC;

8. Vancouver is widely recognized as one of the best places in the world to live. Unlike the rest of Canada, its winters are mild though winter sports are available close by to those interested.

9. Most international students will find in Vancouver immigrant communities from their home countries, communities with which they can associate if they wish;

10. SSDC also provides students with numerous "out of class" opportunities to familiarize themselves with Vancouver's attraction and, more generally, with Canadian culture.

11. The SSDC campus is centrally located in the vibrant core of downtown Vancouver in the heart of the business district close to theatres, restaurants, museums, art galleries and parks and with easy access to major public transportation routes.

12. Students may complete their entire BBA program in as few as 10 consecutive academic quarters (2 1/2 years) saving time and reducing the expense of obtaining their degree.
