All universities and colleges speak about the importance of interdisciplinary approaches.
At Langara, we do a lot more than just talk.
Faculty from programs across Langara come together to teach and team-teach our classes; we are united in our passion for teaching and student success. Students are exposed to diverse approaches, viewpoints, and pedagogies in every classroom and program and learn how to problem-solve with a variety of nuanced perspectives.
Innovative Learning Experiences
We believe in experiential learning and implement it in courses throughout the programs. Students can engage in intellectual problem-solving, often with real world application, in a supportive environment.
In our classes, students might:

- Recreate dishes from an ancient Roman cookbook.
- Investigate and connect with community-based health services in the Lower Mainland.
