Vantage College Type College run by the University of British Columbia Location Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada Campus Urban

**Vantage College** provides interdisciplinary programming, and it is operated by the [University of British Columbia](/source/University_of_British_Columbia) exclusively for international students. It charges a program fee that is not funded by the provincial government. It is a first-year program for students that do not meet UBC's English language admission standards.[1]

## Controversy

The decision to develop Vantage College attracted criticism from students and faculty at the [University of British Columbia](/source/University_of_British_Columbia) for targeting overseas students, being seen as a poor spending decision that fails to significantly benefit the student body at-large.[2][3][4]
