About

General description

Selkirk College is B.C.’s oldest rural community college and came to life after the regional taxpayers voted in a 1965 referendum to provide a close-to-home post-secondary opportunity. Since 1966, it has been providing innovative and unique learning opportunities. The college has grown to become a major economic, social and cultural contributor. Today’s Selkirk welcomes students from across Canada and from around the world. It is large enough to provide quality student services and facilities, yet small enough to offer individual support, small class sizes and an extra dose of attention not found in most post-secondary institutions.

The College offers nationally recognized programs in certificate, diploma, bachelor degree, co-operative education and continuing education programs. It offers outcomes for in demand employment, credit transfer to a multitude of universities for degree completion and enhanced training to further career opportunities. Programs at Selkirk are organized and categorized by the schools and academic areas according to relevant subjects. The instructors are more than teachers, are experts in their fields who have relevant real world experience to share with students.

Nestled in the forest and surrounded by the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers, this campus is easy to get around and offers great indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities, including up to 15  km of walking trails on Castlegar campus.  

Our Kekuli House Student Housing accommodates up to 100 students in private rooms and is a great way to get to know the campus and your fellow classmates. As our main campus, Castlegar is home to the majority of our administration offices and a ton of student resources.
