“Langara’s a great stepping stone to
UBC’s Sauder School of Business.
The smaller classes allowed me to
interact with and really understand
the material. I had great instructors
who were great at connecting class
material to real-life events. My
experience at Langara was golden. It
really prepared me for Sauder and for
success in business.”
