The college takes its name from the neighbourhood in which it is situated, which was named after Spanish Admiral Juan de Lángara. HistoryLangara College courses and programs were first offered in 1965 at King Edward Centre as part of Vancouver City College. Since 1970, the current campus on West 49th Avenue has housed Langara's programs for almost 50 years. On April 1, 1994, Langara College was established as an independent public college under the Provincial College and Institute Act. Langara College Continuing Studies was established in 1997. To provide more space, a new classroom and office building was opened in January 1997. The new library/classroom building was opened in September 2007.[3] NameAs of January 2016, Musqueam, whose unceded territory Langara currently occupies, gave the traditional name snəw̓eyəɬ leləm̓ to the college meaning 'house of teachings', and snəw̓eyəɬ references advice given to children to guide them into adulthood and build their character. This is the first time a BC First Nation has given an Indigenous name to a public, post-secondary institution.[4] Programs and coursesPrograms and courses at Langara College are delivered in the following subject areas:[5]

Langara is a popular choice for university transfer students due to smaller class sizes, excellent support services, and competitive tuition fees. More students transfer to BC universities from Langara College than from any other college in the province.
