Dr. Strangway believed in student-centred classrooms and immersive learning. He imagined a curriculum where disciplines melded together in ways that worked in the real world.

The result? A university that offers a groundbreaking curriculum based on Blocks instead of semesters, Questions rather than majors, and the Bachelor of Arts & Sciences degree. Quest offers an unmatched experience for students who are driven by curiosity and aren’t afraid to work hard and be part of something different. Our academic approach is gaining attention worldwide, and we rank at or near the top in almost every category in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).

Our classes are small, rigorous, interactive—and fun. Our live-on-campus culture fosters close bonds. Our alumni community is one of the most devoted you’ll find. Our location is spectacular: Squamish is situated between world-class ski resort Whistler and Top Ten city Vancouver.
