Program Overview
The Associate of Arts (AA) degree prepares students for life as an educated person and lays a solid foundation for further study.
This two-year, 60-credit (20 courses) undergraduate program is equivalent to the first two years of a four-year degree in the Arts. It prepares students to transfer to research or teaching universities to complete a bachelor’s degree or serves as a credential to enter the labour market. The AA degree is accepted for transfer into bachelor degree programs at University Canada West (UCW) and all British Columbia degree-granting institutions, provided other admission requirements are met.
Graduates of the AA program will be able to:
- Acquire knowledge and skills to help you find a career.
- Become an effective oral and written communicator for the workplace.
- Develop the ability to work collaboratively.
- Prepare for entry into four-year bachelor’s degree programs.
- Prepare for entry-level positions in the industry of your choice.
Courses are provided in face-to-face learning environments.
With the completion of 30 credits in the Associate of Arts degree, a student may transfer to the Bachelor of Arts in Business Communication or Bachelor of Commerce degree seamlessly. Alternatively, the student may continue in the Associate of Arts degree and complete the program with an additional 30 credit hours of study as per provincial Associate of Arts degree guidelines. Please refer to the Course Descriptions section for detailed information on the actual courses.
