University Studies Programs / Courses

The University Studies Program provides high quality instruction for students taking First and Second year courses in Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences.

Students receive a solid foundation of knowledge in introductory courses and in specialized second year courses.

All the courses carry direct transfer credit to B.C. universities, the  University of Lethbridge, and, in general, to other universities.

Students may also take an Associate of Arts Degree or an Associate of Science Degree within the Department.  The degree requires sixty semester credits of first and second year courses and a minimum of ”C-” grade for each course.
