The Liberal Arts Diploma provides 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. 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.
