Description:

The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) is one of British Columbia's largest post-secondary institutions with more than 48,000 students enrolled annually (16,600 full-time, 31,600 part-time). We offer practical career credentials designed for the workplace, including degrees, diplomas and certificates spanning Applied and Natural Sciences, Business and Media, Computing and Information Technology, Engineering, Health Sciences and Trades.

Established in 1964, BCIT now has five main campuses as well as satellite locations province-wide.

At BCIT, students learn theory and put it into practice all in one process. We work with industry to ensure that our training remains on the cutting edge of current practices, and engage our students in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field, building a broad and relevant spectrum of skills. When our students graduate, they're ready to jump in and contribute—right from day one.

The BCIT Archives contains the official and unofficial administration, faculty and student created materials, documenting the history of BCIT and its role in local and provincial history.
