PROGRAM GOAL
The Liberal Arts diploma program focuses on a broad-based curriculum of skills and knowledge in the humanities, social sciences, philosophy, ethics, literature and communications. This program may provide graduates with a pathway into an undergraduate degree at Brock University or the University of Windsor in the social sciences or related areas of study, with a substantial number of advanced standing credits. Graduates will also find they have obtained a wide-range of skills that would benefit them in the workplace including sociology, psychology, Canadian politics and more.

Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to communicate effectively in a business environment, understand and utilize critical thinking processes and problem solving techniques, and possess basic vocational skills drawn from the areas of the humanities and social and behavioural sciences and their vocational impacts in business and technology.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Students may complete the two year diploma and continue on to a university program. Other students may prefer to enter the world of work. Our program helps students to develop the advanced communication and critical thinking skills required particularly for careers in social service organizations that encourage on-the-job professional development.
