UNBC
Closer
to
the
Launch
of
Full
Operations
Northern
BC
is
full
of
people
closely
watching
the
development
of
UNBC.
Some
are
interested
in
the
economic
spin-offs
associated
with
the
arrival
of
a
university.
Some
are
eager
to
upgrade
their
skills
and
do
so
at
UNBC.
Then
there
are
the
students
enroled
at
the
northern
colleges,
especially
those
in
UT
programs.
To
a
large
extent,
their
lives
over
the
next
few
years
at
least
will
be
influenced
by
what
UNBC
plans
to
offer.
At
CNC,
UT
classe$'re
bursting
at
the
seams,
and
many
of
the
people
enroled
in
?
those
courses
are
hopingthey
can
bank
their
v
credits
towards
earning
a
degree
at
the
University's
Prince
George
campus
being
built
on
Cranbrook
Hill4
While
the
grand
opening
of
that
campus
is
scheduled
for
the
fall
of
1994,
the
original
target
date
was
September
1993.
Many
students
at
the
College,
now
nearing
completion
of
their
second
year,
originally
registered
with
the
idea
that
the
University
should
be
opening
just
as
they
finished
up
their
second
year
at
CNC.
They'll
be
finishing
their
second
academic
year
is
a
few
months,
and
may
already
be
asking
"What
will
UNBC
offer
this
September?"
A
simple
question,yes,
but
there
is
no
simple
answer.
UNBC
is
currently
in
the
process
of
hiring
40
academic
staff
(program
chairs
and
faculty
members,
for
example)
and
the
people
chosen
to
fill
those
positions
will
partially
dictate
which
corses
will
be
available
come
September.
A
limited
range
of
third-year
English,
Psychology,
and
History
courses
have
been
offered
since
the
fall
of
'92,
and
it's
expected
that
third
and
