Arts and Sciences Diploma

Laddering opportunities

NorQuest’s Bachelor of Arts and Sciences diploma students with at least 24 credits and minimum 2.0 GPA may be eligible for admission to: 

• University of Alberta’s Bachelor of Arts program
• MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs 

Completion of NorQuest’s Arts and Sciences program does not guarantee university admission. Students must proceed with the application process and meet the entrance requirements (including GPA, possible course prerequisites, and English language proficiency) of their chosen institution. 

Students may also be eligible to use their diploma to transfer to other Universities and colleges, as well as other NorQuest programs. 

Transferability

NorQuest works together with the University of Alberta and MacEwan University to establish new course transfer agreements. Some courses may transfer as advanced credit, meaning they directly replace specific university courses, while others may count as general credit toward elective or degree requirements.  

Other post-secondary institutions in Alberta and across Canada may also accept transfer credits from NorQuest College. Visit Transfer Alberta to check how your courses transfer to the University of Alberta, MacEwan University, and others. 

Students should consult the Arts and Sciences Academic Program Advisor to ensure they meet transfer requirements.
