Our specialty is giving students the best start to their university studies by providing high-quality courses, dedicated faculty, and a proven student success program—all in a smaller, more personal academic environment—located on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC), an internationally renowned institution.
Corpus Christi College is Jesuit-endorsed institution, sharing in a rich 2000-year old intellectual tradition with Catholic institutions around the world.
Shaped by centuries of Catholic education, Corpus Christi embraces the changing times while staying true to our core mission—educating articulate and creative lifelong learners, who, as servant leaders, will be prepared to take on the intellectual, professional, and social challenges of our times.
Students are not required to take religion courses, though a great variety are available, and we welcome students of all faith backgrounds. Whether you’re religious, nonreligious or searching for a spiritual home, we accompany you on your journey and help you lead a life of deeper meaning, belonging and purpose
Corpus Christi College offers courses in a range of disciplines such as arts, business and science, grounded in a liberal arts approach to education. The curriculum challenges our students to learn broadly and think deeply. Instead of training for one narrow career path, Corpus students develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in any walk of life.
Students enjoy close faculty-student interactions. Faculty encourage students to think across disciplinary boundaries in innovative ways—inside and outside the classroom. Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and effective communication: these are the tools that transform a collection of facts and figures into a way of understanding the world.
Students are not just learning with the goal of completing a degree or achieving a job—they are understanding how to learn for a lifetime.
The close-knit community at Corpus Christi College offers so much more than the first two years of university.
University can often feel competitive and formidable but students and alumni will tell you that Corpus delivers a collaborative and caring environment. Dedicated staff, faculty and student support programs ensure students build connections that benefit them academically, socially, and professionally.
Beyond the walls of the classrooms, students are encouraged to give back to their other communities and make a difference in the world. Students take courses on pressing social issues, earn leadership certifications, travel on experiential learning trips, and volunteer through a multitude of organizations.
