Newspaper clipping titled, "A win-win situation at University College of Fraser Valley", written by Ajit Jain in the India Abroad that talks about a win-win situation created by the University of the Fraser Valley for students studying their Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Degree program, as they have the option of completing one, or more years of their program studies in India, giving them the freedom to decide whether they want to continue their education in Abbotsford, Canada, or complete all four years in Chandigarh. Regardless, they will receive their degree for the BBA program if they complete four years of study, thus creating a beneficial situation for them in case they are unable to continue their program abroad.
