About this programme

Please visit the International application deadline page to find out when applications may be available. Take the first step towards a variety of careers with an Associate of Arts Degree in Mathematics. You’ll be exposed to a mix of mathematics and arts courses that will help develop and enhance your critical thinking, writing, research and presentation skills; competencies that are crucial to success in your career or further education. You'll also develop your appreciation for the importance and beauty of mathematics as you improve your numeracy and analytical skills. 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. 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 a mathematics degree at a 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. Refresh your mathematics skills before taking the required statistics course for your credential. Start with MATU 0500 Set for Stats . It’s tuition-free for domestic students
