The Associate Degree program is designed to provide you with two years of full-time study in your chosen academic area. As you work through your studies, you'll complete 20 courses, gaining an Associate of Arts Degree - History, and block transfer to third year History Studies at any BC university.
You will have access to excellent academic advice; you'll have a definite path, but with room to explore along the way. Associate Degree students complete their studies sooner, and enjoy the fellowship that comes with being part of a cohort with the same goal.
