Douglas College is a higher education institution based in New Westminster, British Columbia, with campuses in New Westminster and Coquitlam. It is described as BC’s largest college, offering programs that combine rigorous academic study with practical, hands-on training. The college serves students seeking a blend of university-level scholarship and applied learning, and it emphasizes campus-life involvement and community engagement for staff and faculty. The campuses sit on the unceded traditional and ancestral lands of Coast Salish Peoples, reflecting the region’s Indigenous context. Operating within the higher education sector, Douglas College positions itself as a large post-secondary institution serving a broad student body across its campuses. In 2024 it expanded programming with the launch of a kinesiology post-degree diploma, and in early 2025 it planned to host the Global Game Jam, underscoring its involvement in both new credential offerings and community events.
