PRINCE GEORGE—The College of New Caledonia (CNC) is expanding two high-demand programs to give better access to students across northern B.C.

Early Childhood Care and Learning (ECCL) will now be taught in a blended learning environment giving students the option to study on campus or online.

“The need for early childhood educators is felt throughout every community the college serves,” said Dr. Jonathon Penny, Dean of Human Services, University Transfer and Business Management. “There’s also an interest in ECCL from people across the region, which makes it the perfect pilot for this new blended learning delivery.”

CNC’s Graphic and Web Design (WEGD) certificate program will now be available entirely online with the option to continue the program on campus and receive a diploma.

“Expanding programing to CNC’s regional campuses is a focus of the college’s strategic plan and goal to provide responsive, reflective, and experiential learning opportunities to all students,” said Dr. Chad Thompson, Vice President Academic. “This expansion lays the groundwork for others like it in the future.”
