PCU-WHS is located in Port Alberni, British Columbia, but all BDM courses are offered exclusively online. Students can study from their province or territory of residence within Canada, or from another country.
Students will require basic digital competencies prior to admission.
Students require a computer, an Internet connection (high-speed internet is recommended), and internet browser software to participate in the courses. Students should have a computer with a sound card and speakers to listen to course videos and audio, plus a microphone to participate in synchronous sessions. All courses require a word processing application such as Microsoft Word. Individual courses may have additional software requirements. Technical assistance is available for all courses.
All courses at PCU-WHS are offered by highly qualified faculty with a depth of multidisciplinary experience.
The online platform provides you with:
- 24-hour access to course resources and materials
- More opportunities to directly communicate with faculty
- Constructive interaction with other students
- Greater flexibility and convenience in managing your time (courses are not self-paced, however; timelines for course work are provided)
- An environment to participate at a time and place best suited to your needs
- Additional time to reflect before responding to discussions and other activities
- An environment where the independent learner flourishes.
Students will have 24-hour access to most course resources, activities, and materials. The few synchronous activities (Zoom sessions, student presentations) will be scheduled in the Pacific time zone, but scheduling will aim to accommodate other time zones in which the students are residing, when possible.
