Program details

Overview

The Associate of Arts Degree lets students choose specialization areas and tailor the curriculum accordingly, with an emphasis on deeper insight across multiple disciplines and on building critical thinking, writing, and analytical ability. Coursework spans liberal arts, languages, and social and cultural studies, strengthening research skills and introducing a range of theoretical approaches, with the resulting foundation meant to support further academic study.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Associate of Arts Degree requires BC Grade 12 graduation (or equivalent) for domestic applicants, or 19 years of age or older as an alternative; international applicants need BC Grade 12 graduation or equivalent. No further course prerequisites or minimum GPA are set for entry. English proficiency is assessed under Langara's Category 3 standard: English Studies 12 / English First Peoples 12 / Literary Studies 12 at 50%, IELTS Academic 6.5, Duolingo English Test 110, TOEFL iBT 80 (Writing 20, Reading 20, Listening 18, Speaking 18), CAEL 60, or PTE Academic 56. Admission to the degree does not guarantee registration in every required course, and some students may need additional English coursework to satisfy prerequisites for required program courses.
