Anyone go or know anything about this school? Just looking at schools out west and came across UCW, seems like an odd school. Any info on it?

I've heard of it. I think they kinda fast track your degree, never met anyone whos attended there not sure sure if their degrees are as accepted as UBC, SFU or UVIC.

i don't know that I'd go so far as to say they are as accepted as the bigger schools. Don't know much about them, but the fact that most people don't even know what it is, kind of indicates something. You might get a great education, but if an employer has to ask you to explain where you went to school, it might not really hurt much, but definitely won't help.

Similar to a discussion on an architecture forum about Harvard vs. Sci Arc. Obvs, eneryone knows what Harvard is, but I'm guessing most people have no idea what that other school is. I know Uvic/UBC/SFU aren't as well known as the Ivies, but you get the idea.
