British Columbia has diverse array of higher educational institutions, ranging from publicly funded universities, colleges, and institutes, to private universities, colleges, seminaries, and career institutes. Public institutions receive approximately half of their funding from grants from the provincial government, with the remaining revenue stemming from tuition charges and philanthropic donations.<ref>{{Cite report |last=Auditor General |date=2008 |title=Government's post-secondary expansion: 25,000 seats by 2010 |url=http://www.aud.gov.bc.ca/PUBS/2006-07/Report7/PostSecondaryExp2006.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.aud.gov.bc.ca/PUBS/2006-07/Report7/PostSecondaryExp2006.pdf |archive-date=October 9, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> Each post-secondary institution sets its own admission requirements, although the standard requirement is the completion of high school.
