General Arts and Science Certificate

The General Arts and Science Certificate is a one-year, 30-credit program offering flexible, interdisciplinary study across the humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and science. It is designed for students who want to explore post-secondary academic options and build foundational academic skills before committing to a specific program of study. Students select courses across multiple subject areas, allowing them to sample different fields of interest while earning transferable credit. The certificate suits applicants who are undecided about their long-term program of study or who want to strengthen their academic record before applying to a more specialized diploma or degree program. Credits earned in the program may be applied toward further study, giving students a low-risk way to test academic interests before committing to a specific credential.
