| Description | The Associate of Science credential provides two years of undergraduate university level courses in the sciences and arts, equivalent to the first two years of a four‐year baccalaureate degree. The goal is to provide an academic foundation that enables students to continue their studies toward degree completion. The Associate of Science degree will provide a provincial credential widely recognized by many post-secondary institutions in the British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer. Students who successfully complete the Associate of Science degree have an increased likelihood of being admitted into third year courses at the transfer institution. Students are strongly advised to check the admissions policy of the institution to which they would like to transfer, and to find out if there are additional criteria they must meet for specific program areas. A minimum Associate Degree GPA may be required.
In addition to receiving an Associate of Science degree, students who complete the courses laid out in the Biology Flexible Pre-Major pathway will meet the first and second year Biology major subject requirements for a number of degree-granting institutions.
