What will I learn?

With the opportunity to explore and design your own academic program, your studies will culminate in a two-year Associate of Arts Degree. You will have the opportunity to choose your specialization areas and tailor the curriculum to your needs. The emphasis is on developing a deeper insight into multiple disciplines, all while building critical thinking, writing, and analyzing abilities. With a solid foundation, these studies will lead seamlessly into further academic studies.

Students will gain knowledge in multiple areas of study in liberal arts and languages, and social and cultural studies. Holistically, the program aims to develop critical thinking abilities, strengthen research skills, and introduce a variety of theories.

The Associate of Arts Degree requires the successful completion of a minimum 60 credits that have assigned or unassigned credit at Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Victoria, or the University of Northern British Columbia.

Within the minimum 60 credits, students must complete:

Six credits in first-year English;

36 credits in arts (including a minimum of 18 credits in arts at the second-year level taken in two or more subject areas) which must include:

Six credits in the social sciences;

Three credits in mathematics or computing science or statistics;

Three credits in a laboratory science;

Nine credits of first- or second-year courses (Students may include university-transfer credit from career program and kinesiology and recreation courses); and
