Overview

Certificate in Engineering Studies

The Certificate in Engineering Studies at Northern Lights College is an intense undergraduate credential requiring chemistry, computer programming, communications, engineering design, math, and physics courses. 

This credential meets the British Columbia Common First-Year Engineering Agreement, preparing students to apply for transfer into second-year engineering programs at designated receiving institutions across the province. 

Within BC, the terms and conditions of transfer into the second year vary. 

For example, second-year admission to BC engineering schools may be guaranteed or competitive, while program placement in the second year is typically competitive. 

NLC students are responsible for confirming transfer arrangements at their chosen degree-granting institutions.
