Overview

Liberal Arts Diploma

You can choose from over 100 fully transferable university courses in arts and sciences to match your interests and degree path. 

You can take one course at a time or select a full two years’ worth of credits to transfer directly into three- and four-year university degree programs within BC, Canada and abroad.

Selkirk College awards a Liberal Arts Diploma to a student who completes at least sixty (60) credits of University Arts and Science courses with a “P” grade or better in each course, achieves a minimum GPA of 2.00, and whose course selection meets the following criteria:

  • English 110 (minimum grade of C required) and English 111
  • Six courses in first-year UAS
  • Six courses in second-year UAS. Some second-year courses may have prerequisite requirements
  • Up to a maximum of six courses may be from other subjects, as long as they are at the 100-level or higher and are transferable

Successful course and/or program completion allows you to transfer into university degree programs such as the bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of fine arts (BFA) and bachelor of science (BSc), including engineering.
