Well-rounded and academic
If you are fascinated by the whole world—everything from biology to chemistry to physics—but don't want to be limited to just one area of study, then the Associate of Science Degree (General Science) is a great choice. We offer a wide selection of math and science courses, most with strong lab components. General Science can lead to virtually any job requiring a general science background, from medicine to research or teaching.
What you'll learn
Camosun's General Science associate degree program is offered by the School of Arts & Science. This two-year, 20-course program will give you a well-rounded education in general science.
As a graduate, you can choose to continue your studies with a bachelor's degree. You'll also be ready for any career that requires a strong science background and wide general knowledge. This AD can also lead to a full block transfer to Royal Roads University's for programs within the School of Environnmental Sustainability.
What to expect
Offered primarily at our Lansdowne campus, the Associate of Science Degree in General Science is a full-time two-year program that is also offered part-time and has a variety of course offerings. During your program, you can choose to take an optional internship or co-op work term.
This program contains a blend of arts and science courses to support the concept of a broad education.
Years 1 and 2
During your four academic terms, you will take 20 courses, including English, Math, arts and science courses. You will have the flexibility to chart your own academic path.
