Program details
Overview
The University Arts Diploma is a two-year, on-campus program delivered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, through the Humanities and Social Sciences department in the School of Applied Science and Technology. Students take courses across a range of subjects to build interdisciplinary perspectives while developing communication and critical thinking skills. The program serves two purposes: it can stand alone as a workforce-ready credential, or it can serve as a foundation for transferring into the third year of a Bachelor of Arts degree at a university. A work-integrated learning component provides applied experience during the program. Admission requires a minimum grade in English 30-1 and one additional 30-level subject drawn from a defined list of Alberta Education courses, with Biology 30 recommended for students planning to pursue a psychology emphasis. The program is open to both domestic and international applicants.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in English 30-1 and in one additional 30-level subject from Aboriginal Studies 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Computer Science - Advanced Level CTS, an approved 30-level Fine Arts course, Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2, Physics 30, Science 30, Social Studies 30-1, or a 30-level language other than English; Biology 30 is strongly recommended for applicants planning a psychology emphasis.
