Strategic Direction:
Create Flexibility for Learners
Increase program and pathway flexibility, interdisciplinarity, access and agency for diverse learners.
UBC’s strategic directions sets our path toward the 2050 vision, supported by annual actions informed by expert input and community consultation. These actions reflect a shared commitment across the university to move us towards a prosperous future.
Year One
Action 1
Increase the number of flexible program offerings, such as micro-credentials, stackable courses, condensed courses, and online learning opportunities in areas of demand and UBC expertise.
Action 2
Identify and remove barriers, promote cross-campus pathways and mobility, and pilot intercampus international students’ recruitment strategies.
Action 3
Pilot at UBC Okanagan opportunities to increase admission access points for undergraduate programming (e.g., January or May start dates).
Notes:
- The actions outlined as a part of Strategic Directions 2025–2030 work alongside the strategies committed to in Shaping UBC’s Next Century 2018–2028 (PDF).
- These actions, some of which are multi-year, will be reviewed and renewed annually as our community and context evolve.
