Program details

Overview

This degree programme spans two full years of full-time undergraduate arts study, serving either as a foundation for upper-level university coursework or as a standalone credential that stands complete in its own right.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The Associate of Arts Degree requires Grade 12 graduation or equivalent and English 12 with a minimum 'C+' grade or equivalent. Individual courses within the degree carry their own prerequisites — for example, Pre-Calculus 11 or equivalent must be completed before taking ECON 1100 Microeconomics — so the exact course list an applicant must complete depends on the courses chosen. The page states no IELTS, TOEFL or other standardized English-test score beyond a reference to VCC's general English Language Proficiency Requirements, and no minimum grade point average. The programme is restricted to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, applicants must be 16 or older or a secondary-school graduate, and official transcripts and supporting documents must be submitted with a completed application.

Application Details

Start Date: September
Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
