International and Development Studies

Our program operates under the Associate of Arts degree program, so you need to apply for and meet the entrance requirements for this program. There are two options for admission. If you are applying straight from high school, follow option one. If you have attended some post-secondary school, follow option two.

Option one: high school graduation only
1. B.C. Secondary school graduation or equivalent and
2. A minimum of a B average in English 12 and two other provincially examinable grade 12 subjects.

Option two: university entrance
You will need a minimum of nine university-level credits complete with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on all universitylevel credits attempted.

Check out our online calendar at www.ufv.ca/calendar and read the
International and Development Studies section carefully. You will be applying to the Associate of Arts program. From our website you can go to the download centre and download the application form. Fill it out and submit it, along with the required documents and the 45 dollar application fee (the 45 dollar will be waived for current UFV General Arts/Arts Studies students) to the Admissions and Records office at any UFV campus or centre or through the internet at www.pas.bc.ca.

If you want to start your studies in September, you should submit your application to UFV starting October 1. Alternately, if you're thinking about starting in January, the submission date is August 1. Admission will be on a competitive basis and meeting the minimal requirements does not guarantee your admission. If you meet all the entrance requirements but the program is full, you will be given an opportunity to register in Arts Studies.

In your second year of the program, you will spend one semester doing on average three hours volunteer work each week. The activities may include community education, or working with non-governmental and church groups involved in international issues.

It may be possible to arrange employment opportunities for you in other countries if you have taken the appropriate language courses.

It's best to consult the UFV calendar at www.ufv.ca/calendar for tuition fees, keeping in mind that new fees are usually set in May. You should also visit the UFV Financial Aid and Awards office, which facilitates the disbursement each year of about $12 million in federal and provincial student loans, grants, bursaries, scholarships, and awards to UFV students. A helpful budget planning worksheet is available online at www.ufv.ca/fineaid/budget.

The University of the Fraser Valley is a fully accredited, public university that enrolls over 11,000 students per year, and lies nestled in the beautiful Fraser Valley just east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The University has campuses in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Mission, with regional centres in Hope and Agassiz, and a growing presence in Chandigarh, India. In Fall 2007, UFV began development of a beautiful new 80-acre campus in the Canada Education Park along the historic Vedder River in Chilliwack.

The University of the Fraser Valley is a teaching university with a focus on excellence which offers 13 bachelor’s degrees, one applied master’s degree, and more than 80 certificate and diploma programs in applied and academic areas, including trades. The University believes that anyone who wants to go to university should be given a fair chance, so the admission policies are flexible, and UFV provides university prep courses and high school completion for those who aren't quite ready. Students can learn in a variety of ways: full-time, part-time, in-class, online, as part of a structured program or one tailored completely to their interests.

UFV is committed to providing exceptional post-secondary instruction and a nurturing learning environment for the students of the Fraser Valley and beyond. The University of the Fraser Valley is large enough to offer variety yet small enough to offer the personal attention that these students need to thrive. The small class sizes and focus on teaching allow them get to know their instructors and learn in a hands-on environment. The emphasis on applied research offers many opportunities for student researchers.
