Overview

Associate of Science Degree

The University Arts and Sciences Program at Northern Lights College serves individuals and communities by providing university-level learning opportunities that reflect the intellectual and creative modes of inquiry practised in the Arts and Sciences.  

A variety of first- and second-year courses enable learners to pursue numerous credential and career options and engage in personal enrichment. 

The Associate of Science Degree enables students to select various science courses. 

This provincially recognized credential provides a well-rounded educational experience that prepares students for work, citizenship, and further study.

For students intending to pursue further studies, the Associate of Science Degree comprises the first two years (60 credits) of a four-year degree program (120 credits). 

All 60 Associate Degree credits receive complete block transfer at post-secondary institutions throughout British Columbia. 

Accordingly, the Associate of Science Degree enables Northern Lights College students to complete the first half of a degree program while remaining in their home communities.

Students transferring to other post-secondary institutions may still be required to meet specific first-year and second-year requirements for certain degree programs. 

Students should plan their course selection accordingly to meet these requirements while enrolled at NLC for the Associate of Science Degree.
