General Arts And Science - One-Year Program (Certificate)

Overview

FULL DESCRIPTION

The General Arts and Science one-year (two semesters) certificate is designed for students who wish to develop the skills and competencies required in college, university, and the workplace. The program allows students to explore subjects within the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and science and mathematics; and to develop skills in critical thinking, oral and written communications and career development.

CAREER & POSTGRADUATE STUDY

Your Career

Many students use the one-year (two semesters) certificate program to qualify for admission to various college and university programs. Others apply to the two-year (four semesters) General Arts and Science diploma program (R101), which allows them to apply to other college and university programs to earn advanced standing if they meet the grade point average and admission requirements for those programs.

Many others prefer to enter the world of work directly from the program. Education in the Liberal Arts and Sciences is valued in many workplaces and our program helps students to develop the communication and critical thinking skills required in the world of work, particularly for careers that encourage on-the-job professional development.

Future Study Options

Vocation-specific college studies: Students who meet the grade point average (GPA) requirements could be eligible for exemptions or advanced standing in other college programs depending on the length of their studies, their grades, and the college and program requirements.

Students who successfully complete the one-year (two semesters) certificate may proceed directly into the second year of the General Arts & Science diploma program if they meet all criteria.

In addition, graduates of this program may qualify for entry into George Brown's degree programs in Business, Hospitality and Technology if they meet specific requirements. For details, please visit see the General Arts and Science page.
