PRINCE GEORGE— 50 South Korean exchange students officially graduated from the International Summer Program- an English Business class at UNBC. Living in Prince George for the past four weeks allowed students to immerse themselves in what Prince George had to offer, while learning about Canadian culture.

A student receives his certificate for completing the course.

The post-secondary students study a variety of different things back in South Korea, including bio-chemistry, computer science and agriculture. There were only a few business majors, but the skills learned in the entrepreneurship course can be applied to many different fields.

The students had a final presentation yesterday (August 7) and UNBC Instructor Muhammad Rahman was impressed with the growth in the students over the short period of time.

“The first day the students came they could barely speak English,” Rahman says. “With that final presentation, they blew my mind. They were very well spoken.”
