Northwest Community College

Coast Mountain College is connected to place – to rich cultures, rugged landscapes and breathtaking vistas. It is where lifestyle and learning go hand in hand. And experiential learning brings theory to life. An accredited college tucked away in the coastal mountains of spectacular British Columbia, Coast Mountain College provides its communities with innovative programs and experiential, place-based education. With seven regional campuses in Hazelton, Masset, Queen Charlotte, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Terrace, the College is rich with opportunities for connection; where the communities support and mentor student transformation. Coast Mountain College provides quality education and a wide variety of post-degree diplomas, associate degrees, Red Seal Trades training, diplomas and certificates. With strong ties to the First Nations communities, CMTN emphasizes Indigenous programming with a student body made up of 56% of self-identified Indigenous students. The First Nations Fine Arts program at Coast Mountain College is the only one of its kind in Canada where artists focus on the northern style of West Coast First Nations art. Intensive summer field school programs combine a full semester of learning into just a few weeks where students experience northwest BC’s incredible history, culture and environment. Students also take advantage of many adventurous international degree partnerships and study abroad after just one or two years at Coast Mountain College.
