High tech
alternative

High technology is in everyone’s
future, but many people who want to
take advantage of the new careers this
technology will bring are not yet
prepared.

 

DOUGLAS COLLEGE PRESS
RELEASE

At Douglas College a new program
is beifig’ offered to get you started on
the road to high tech. Technology
Fundamentals, beginning this spring
will introduce students to the rigorous
and intensive field of scientific study.

‘There is a real gap between those
wanting to and those capable of
entering high tech. fields,’’ says
Douglas College Dean of Academic
Programs, Gordon Gilgan. ‘‘We’re
offering this service to help bridge that
gap.”’

Students wanting to enter a tech-
nological study should first apply to
either BCIT or Kwantlen College to
have their skills assessed, Gilgan says.

For students -accepted into the
programs, but without an adequate
science background to complete their
studies, Douglas College will upgrade
their skills to the required level.

Students who qualify under regular
Douglas College admissions require-
ments can be accepted to Technology
Fundamentals, Gilgan says.

 

Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry,

Communications, and Reading and
Study Skills will be taught in the same

intensive learning atmosphere as a
technological school.

Daytime courses in ‘Technology
Fundamentals will begin at Douglas
College this spring and classes could
be expanded into the fall semester. In
the past, this program has only been
offered at BCIT during’ the spring
session for graduates to begin their
technical training in September.

‘The potential to help people enter
the future with high technology train-
ing is here,’’ says Gilgan. ‘‘We cover
all aspects of pre-tech training and
offer students the option of full or part
time programs.’’

For more information on Techno-
logical Fundamentals at Douglas
College contact the Admissions office
at 520-5478.
