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 develop these skills:
- Workplace problem-solving skills
- Ability to work in teams
