Program details

Overview

The General Education (Social Sciences) Diploma is a two-year program for students who prefer a diverse selection of courses and do not necessarily plan to pursue further university study. Coursework spans multiple areas of study within the social sciences and is designed to develop critical thinking abilities, strengthen research skills, and introduce students to a range of theoretical frameworks across disciplines. Because post-secondary experience supports many career paths, the diploma provides a broad foundation of knowledge applicable across a wide range of fields rather than preparing students for one specific profession, transfer pathway, or university degree program. The program is offered by Langara College on a full-time, in-person basis, with intakes in September, January, and May, and no English language proficiency test is required for admission to this diploma.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants: BC Grade 12 graduation (or equivalent), or 19 years of age or older. International applicants are not eligible for admission to this diploma. No English language proficiency test is required. Admission does not guarantee registration in required courses; students should check individual course prerequisites well in advance.
