With appropriate course planning, the Associate of Arts degree will allow the students to enter directly into the 3rd year at the university of their choice in BC or elsewhere. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all prerequisites for upper level courses at the receiving institution have been met, and to note that the credit value for some courses may vary between institutions. Please consult the BC Transfer Guide or see Academic Advising.

International students who wish to remain in Canada after completion of the Associate of Arts (Business) degree are also eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit. A Post Graduate Work Permit will allow the graduated student to live and work in Canada for a period of up to 3 years. Those who are interested in staying in Canada for a longer period of time will be eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada after completion of their first year of eligible full-time employment.

The Associate of Arts (Business) Degree program consists of 64 credits and is typically completed over a 2 year period. The Associate of Arts (Business) degree is a specialized program focusing on the use of analytical, qualitative, quantitative, and conceptual techniques in business and economics to enable graduates to function effectively in problem solving and critical thinking. They will learn to work independently and cooperatively, to accept and respond positively to feedback, and become familiar with contemporary business issues. Graduates will be well-prepared to enter the world of business directly, and meet an increased demand from employers for entry-level business and marketing people, both in Canada and abroad. While there is a clear focus on business studies, the program also allows students to explore other interests by incorporating electives, arts, and science breadth requirements.

Upon completion of the Associate of Arts (Business) Degree program, students may choose to either begin their career or to continue their studies in pursuit of a bachelor degree. Graduates may choose to transfer to a university to complete a Bachelor degree.

Students must complete a total of 64 term credits of first and second year courses. These must include a minimum of 18 credits in Economics taken at the second-year level. Graduation requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
