Pre-Program activities

Held in late April/ early May, late August, and late December/ early January before the term begins, the UBC DAP Orientation Session is geared to provide students the information they need to be successful in the program.

• Discover how to make the most of your learning experience by taking advantage of the student and career services available
• Learn about academic policies that can affect your progress
• Gain insight into the student experience: common concerns and managing workload
• Connect with fellow students, instructors, and staff

The demanding nature of the UBC DAP curriculum requires that students have a working knowledge of business mathematics including arithmetic and basic algebra; ratios, proportions and percentages; linear systems and graphing linear equations. The Quantitative Methods Preparatory Course (QM Prep), offered online prior to the commencement of classes in January, May and September each year is designed to help students with limited or no experience in math or accounting acquire the quantitative skills necessary to be successful in the Program. Offered at a cost of $150, QM Prep can be completed in 10 to 15 hours.
