  • Post-Baccalaureate Programs
    Made In B.C. – Volume VII A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Post-Baccalaureate Programs Bob Cowin Douglas College March 2013 Preface Enrolment may be small compared to other educational sectors in British Columbia, but a disproportionate share of opinion makers and society’s change agents have participated in the programs described in this paper. These programs represent a growing aspect of postsecondary education, one that has received a fair amount of attention in government and institutions. Yet despite all this, and my own sense that post-baccalaureate programs matter a great deal, I hesitated to tackle the topic of post-baccalaureate programming. I feared that my source material might be fine grained and dispersed – no simple synthesis and summary here. My fears turned out to have some basis: however much postsecondary educators might ponder and discuss trends in their work environment, publicly accessible articles about credential creep, the long term impact of competing for research funding, or the implications of scrambling for academic prestige in BC are scarce. Once again, this volume is simply another starting point, an extended briefing note that seeks to be broad rather than deep. Its goal is consolidate information so that well contextualized decisions might be made about the future of postsecondary education in BC. Part of her argument is that the reason cultures die, or enter a dark age, is that they begin to lose the memory of their story…. This is especially so in our increasingly pluralistic neighbourhoods [postsecondary institutions] characterized by multiple and often competing stories about the nature and meaning of life [education].
