This two-year degree offers a broad blend of arts coursework that lets students sample options before settling on a specialty. It covers nearly every course requirement needed for third-year entry into a BC-approved Bachelor of Arts program, and courses can be mixed and matched to fit individual interests as long as the specified requirements are met.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page for the Associate of Arts degree does not list its own entrance requirements and instead points applicants to Selkirk College's general Admission Requirements page. Under that general standard, applicants must hold a BC senior secondary school diploma or equivalent, or be 19 years of age or older; those meeting neither must be enrolled in a recognised secondary-transitions pathway or supply written parent or guardian consent and community support letters. First-time applicants may be asked to complete the College Readiness Tool. The general page notes some programs carry their own additional academic requirements, but for the Associate of Arts neither page states a minimum grade, GPA, or an English-language test score such as IELTS or TOEFL. Domestic applicants pay a non-refundable $40 application fee, waived for students returning to the same program; international applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC or directly to Selkirk, the latter route carrying a $100 fee.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Selkirk College's general programmes admit on a rolling, first-qualified-first-admitted basis: applications for Fall 2027 open 1 October 2026, Winter 2028 applications open 1 February 2027, and Spring 2028 applications open 1 June 2027, with no fixed closing date. Both domestic and international applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, or international applicants may instead apply directly to Selkirk with a $100 application package; admission stays rolling until seats fill. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is competitive-entry with its own published timeline for the 2027/28 intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
