Institution and locations
BCIT at a glance
BCIT describes applied, career-focused education across multiple campuses and delivery contexts.
BCIT describes an applied polytechnic with programs across business, computing, engineering, health, trades, and other areas. Its published institutional figures include 300+ programs and multiple credential levels; those are current page figures, not a dated catalogue count.
Location is program-specific. BCIT calls Burnaby its main hub. Its campus directory also lists Downtown Vancouver, the Marine Campus in North Vancouver, the Aerospace Technology Campus in Richmond, the Annacis Island Campus in Delta, and the Centre for Applied Research and Innovation in Burnaby. Confirm the exact campus, schedule, and delivery mode on the program page before planning a commute or housing.
Decision checklist
- Record the exact credential, program code, intake, campus, and delivery mode.
- Treat institutional marketing totals as page-dated context, not guarantees of current availability.
- Match the teaching campus to housing and the services you will use each week.
