Do you plan on pursuing a degree in science at a university? With the Associate of Science Degree, you'll complete two years of first- and second-year university-level courses, including courses in math, various sciences and electives. You can also choose to focus your education by selecting from science courses that share a similar specialty or theme, such as biology, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, or mathematics. Do you have a specific area of science you’re leaning toward? We also offer specialty associate of science programs in: Associate degrees take two years to complete and concentrate on one area of study. If you plan your courses carefully with a university program in mind, you’ll be able to transfer all 60 credits to university. In most cases, an associate degree will allow you to enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. To ensure your courses transfer, see the BC Transfer Guide. Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program , which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance, so we strongly recommend contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program.
