Program description
The General Arts & Science program offers a foundational year for students preparing for the workforce or for future study. Core courses include communication, computers, applied or social science, personal development, and general education. Complementing these are varied electives. Students can also focus on essential competencies in communications, science and math.
You can enter the job or continue your education immediately after completing this one-year postsecondary certificate program. You'll learn the basics of any job, and you can round out that education with courses you and your advisor decide on together. A second year of study is available for those who wish to pursue the General Arts & Science Diploma.
This course is available at our Brockville, Kingston and Cornwall locations.
