Associate degrees are offered at many colleges and universities throughout BC. They recognize successful completion of 60 credits of study, which is approximately 20 courses. With full-time study, you can complete an associate degree within two academic years. Part-time study options are also available.
Associate degrees offer a great deal of flexibility. You can choose your preferred courses from a specific list of eligible courses (scheduled and distance), making it possible to focus your studies in one specific area or explore a variety of subjects.
To Be Successful
- Your first and most important step as a university transfer or associate degree student is to call, email, or visit an educational advisor at your nearest NIC campus or centre. Educational advisors have extensive knowledge of programs, funding options, career paths and post-secondary transfer agreements and will help you get started on the right track.
- You are responsible for selecting only courses that are eligible for the Associate of Arts degree. Always review your study plan with an educational advisor before registering in courses.
- NIC also offers high school-level upgrading options if you need help meeting prerequisites for entry into individual courses.
- If you intend to transfer your associate degree as credit toward a four-year degree, review the Steps to University Transfer on the NIC website.
