Associate of Arts

About

The Associate of Arts Degree is an interdisciplinary set of courses that cultivate core skills in writing, communication, research and team performance. It will prepare students for additional post-secondary education or to enter the workforce. Students can choose on campus study or online.

The Associate of Arts (AA) degree provides you with a broad foundation of knowledge. This 60-credit (20 course) program prepares you for additional post-secondary education or to enter directly into the workforce. The AA degree is accepted for transfer into bachelor degree programs at University Canada West (UCW) and all British Columbia degree-granting institutions provided other admission requirements are met.

Students pursuing an Associate of Arts degree at UCW can gain a broader multi-disciplinary focus in their chosen field. Students can take on one of eight elective areas while completing the requirements of the Associate of Arts degree. You will not earn a formal credential by completing an elective area but it can be a great way to shape your Associate of Arts degree and help prepare you for your career or further study.

Graduates of the AA program will develop these skills:

Workplace problem-solving skills
Ability to work in teams
Leadership skills for the workplace
Communications and soft skills for employability

Students in the AA degree program are required to demonstrate both written and oral communication skills. These skills will be developed and evaluated through:

Lectures and class discussions
Written assignments
Presentations
Team tasks
