COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS
UBC’s first two online master’s programs were development collaboratively with universities outside of Canada. The Master of Education Technology (MET) program was originally development, in collaboration with Moi University, a secondary education diploma program for teachers in the Dadaab refugee camp schools in Kenya as part of the Borderless Higher education for Refugees (BHER) project based at York University.
