Program Description
An Associate of Science Degree is earned upon successful completion of 60 university-transferable credits. In most cases, the degree allows students to transfer to a university and enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. Many universities prefer candidates with an Associate Degree and will accept students at a lower grade point average.
Students planning to complete a Bachelor of Science degree at a B.C. university should consider Douglas College’s Associate of Science Degree.

Students can then transfer to university and enter the third year of a four-year Bachelor of Science program. Many universities prefer candidates with an Associate Degree and will accept students at a lower grade point average.
