The Associate of Arts is a provincial credential designed for you to explore a mix of disciplines. Most students completing an Associate of Arts will transfer to university in the 3rd year to continue in a degree discipline of choice.

The Associate of Arts is a program that seeks to develop:

an understanding of, and curiosity about, the world in which we live and work
an appreciation and openness to a variety of viewpoints, ways of thinking, and human creativity
your ability for, and interest in, self-directed life-long learning and social responsibilities.

This associate degree is designed with two main purposes in mind. The flexible curriculum enables you to explore a wide range of interests, providing a solid foundation for further study. The other is to provide an experience that helps you hone your study habits, writing skills, and prepares you for work, citizenship, and an enriched life as an educated person. Even if you don’t transfer into a degree program, having obtained an associate degree can prove useful when you seek employment.
