Quest University

Quest University Canada (QUC) is a private secular non-profit liberal arts and sciences university in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. The university opened in September 3, 2007 with an enrollment of 74 students; its current enrollment is ca. 700. It has an exclusive focus on undergraduate education and offers only one degree, a Bachelors of Arts & Science. QUC runs on a Block Plan scheduling system, adapted and modified from the Block Plan at Colorado College. Quest believes this unconventional way of structuring the academic year offers students more flexibility, focus, and the chance for deep exploration of their academic interests. Quest conducts seminar-style learning with a maximum of 20 students per course, and divides the curriculum into a Foundation and Concentration program, also expecting students to create a personalized Question, which they devise on their own with the guidance of a faculty mentor. The Question can derive from a single discipline or can span multiple disciples. The curriculum culminates in each student completing a Keystone project
