“Teaching at Langara School of Management
and UBC’s Sauder School has provided me with
a deep appreciation of the rigour, diligence and
care provided by Langara. Langara’s smaller
class sizes and emphasis on the deep, cross-
functional development of students prepares
them to either graduate with a business degree
or the ability to transfer to UBC with ease.”

“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.”
