Confer Associate Degrees

Advanced Education Minister Tom
Perry announced this summer that B.C.
colleges will be able to offer two-year
associate degrees.

Aug. 11 told of Perry’s announcement.
He said associate degrees will help
students who look for jobs after two
years in college.

Marleen Morris, Director of Public
Relations at Cap, explained the degrees
will make post-secondary education
more attractive to many people because
of the promise of early recognition.

“It’s a positive step...it will help us to
attract students who are on a degree
path or who may not have thought of a
degree,” she said.

Cap will offer two associate degrees,
one in Arts and one in Sciences. To
qualify a student must complete 60
semester credits in university transfer
courses. Specific course requirements
are outlined in an update to the Calen-
dar.

Frank Gelin, Vice-President Aca-
demic Studies, was co-chair of the
provincial Council on Admissions and
Transfer that recommended the degrees
to the Ministry.
