Overview
Langara College is a public college in Vancouver, British Columbia, with its main campus at 100 West 49th Avenue on the traditional territory of the Musqueam First Nation.
It opened in 1970 and became an independent public post-secondary institution in 1994. Instruction is delivered in English.
Langara organizes its offerings into university-studies courses that transfer as credit to universities across British Columbia and beyond, career and diploma programs leading directly to employment, and shorter, stackable professional-development credentials. Subject areas span business, health sciences, arts and humanities, science, and technology.
The college awards certificates, diplomas, and university-transfer credit; it relies on formal transfer agreements with universities rather than conferring its own bachelor's degrees.
Langara maintains dedicated services for Indigenous students, international students, including an English Immersion Program that prepares non-native speakers for academic study, and general academic advising and wraparound support. The college has stated sustainability commitments, including a STARS Silver rating and a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Langara suits both recent secondary-school graduates pursuing transfer pathways into four-year university degrees and adult learners seeking direct-entry career credentials, drawing a mix of domestic and international students to its single Vancouver campus.
