Accreditation: The New Trend in School Improvement

Skilled Educators create rich learning environments where students are introduced to new ideas, develop new skills, and expand their perspectives. The informed use of technology can engage students in new experiences and create a community of learners across geographical boundaries.

The Right School

UBC is an internationally-recognized leader in distributed learning, and its reputation attracts accomplished students from around the world. UBC Faculty work on the leading edge of curriculum design and technology integration; each of the courses has been developed using an innovative, constructivist pedagogy. One of the MET course authors received the BC Innovation Award for her work in Educational Technology.

International Focus

	"When a document begins in BC, is refined in China, polished in Ontario, proofed in Japan, and submitted from New York, you know you've been part of a truly global learning experience." ~ Jerry Bleecker

Educators work within an increasingly international context. The MET degree was developed through an international partnership and the program has attracted students from 35 countries, providing an excellent environment in which to learn to develop programs for international and intercultural populations.
To encourage international students to apply, the application fees and procedures and the tuition fees are the same for both domestic and international students.

Flexible, Realistic Program Options

The program is offered completely online, and is accessible to working professionals across the globe. In addition to the Master's Degree, the program offers two specialized graduate certificates. The graduate certificate programs can be completed in as little as one year, and credits from the certificate programs can be transferred towards the full Master's Degree program.

Is UBC an Accredited University?

The University of British Columbia (UBC) is a member of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Incorporated in 1908 by an act of the provincial legislature, it operates under the authority of the University Act of the Province of British Columbia. Membership in AUCC and operation under the authority of the University Act is equivalent to accreditation in the US system.
