Okanagan College is a public post-secondary educational institution whose largest campus is located in Kelowna, British Columbia. The college offers over 120 certificates, degrees and diplomas, and programs that include pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship trades programs. Established in 1963, the college has grown to be the largest in British Columbia outside Victoria and Lower Mainland. Okanagan College has four major campuses in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm.
With around 16,000 students attending the institution each year, the College focuses on keeping the class sizes small (the average class size being 18), and giving the students hands-on learning through industry-experienced professors. Okanagan College is also known to give co-op, field and practicum opportunities to the students so that they are able to learn first-hand. The college believes in being a community of learning, that is strengthened by a rich cultural heritage and academic support.
Over 1,800 international students from over 60 countries study at Okanagan College. The college offers a wide range of student events, sports clubs, and on-campus fitness facilities and different programs are available for international students at all locations.
The Kelowna campus of Okanagan College has a student residence, Skaha Place, which offers an affordable, and convenient option for students. The rooms are available as private studios (single bedroom) and in pod style (five bedrooms per unit). As the space in Skaha Place is limited, students are encouraged to apply early.
Apart from the student residence option, homestays are also available with a local family that is selected by the Okanagan College Education Settlement Team. The Homestay option is available on all the campuses and includes airport pick-up and drop-off at the Kelowna International Airport. The homestay experience proves to be an excellent opportunity for the students to improve their English and adapt to a new environment, while also learning about Canadian culture.
