Program details

Overview

This Certificate in Arts and Science, offered by Concordia's Faculty of Arts and Science, gives students the flexibility to explore multiple fields of study or complete university-level coursework outside a traditional degree program. The one-year, 30-credit program requires students to complete at least 24 credits within the Faculty of Arts and Science, chosen from up to three different departments. It is suited both to students who want a shorter program of study and to those who already hold an undergraduate degree and wish to refresh their knowledge or learn new skills. Classes are held on the Sir George Williams campus in Montreal, with entry in the Fall or Winter term. A U.S. Federal Student Aid-eligible version of the program, meeting U.S. regulations for eligible programs such as excluding co-operative education and e-courses, is also offered.
