Associate of Arts and Science

The Associate of Arts and Science exposes students to many disciplines which provide the foundation for a well-rounded education. It is ideal for those students who are uncertain about their career path. It is also suited to those students who are looking for a broad-based liberal arts education.

In this programme, students do not concentrate on one subject. Rather, they take a variety of courses in the Humanities, Social Sciences, mathematics and Sciences. Students choosing this option will be able to transfer to colleges or universities abroad to further their studies in Arts and Science as well as specialised non-arts degrees, such as Georgia State University’s articulated Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
