DESCRIPTION
Arts Program at Okanagan College
Citation preview
What can you do with an Arts degree?
What can’t you do with an Arts degree?
Skeptical ever?
Studying Business or taking up a trade are not the only ways to find employment.
An Arts education leads to a meaningful career.
Is it all poetry?
You won’t end up working at Starbucks.
An Arts education
leads to interesting areas of employment.
Ask questions like…
What is ideolog
y?
What can history tell us?
Most of you will change careers
several times in your lifetime.
An Arts education ensures you won’t get stuck in one job,
especially a job that might be obsolete by the time you start
working.
Why sweatshops?
By focusing on essential skills such as those identified by Human Resources & Skills
Development Canada, an Arts education allows you to
change careers as labour markets or your own interests
change.
The nine Essential Skills
1. Reading Text 2. Document Use
3. Numeracy4. Writing
5. Oral Communication6. Working With Others7. Continuous Learning
8. Thinking Skills9. Computer Use
Why?
Changing careers? What if you’re not even sure which career you
want to start with first?
There are more Arts students at Okanagan College than there are enrolled in any other program—more than Business, more than trades, technology, or health.
Fight the Power?
Most of our students are just like you.
They’re taking the time to explore their options before they
make a choice for life.
They’re finding out that an Arts education gives them
more opportunities than any other program.
If our country is so rich, why are so many people so poor?
An Arts education at Okanagan College allows you to complete
the first two years of a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree
close to home, for affordable tuition,
in small classes.
Why is a comedy show the only source of reliable news on TV?
How small are our classes?
A first year academic English course at Okanagan College is limited
to 20 students.
At UBCO, the same course has 140 students.
The Associate Degree of Arts
is a provincial credential that allows you to complete
60 credits of study at Okanagan College
and transfer these credits fully to any BC university
where you can begin the third year of study.
Racism? Today?
The credits earned in courses taken at the college
count as equal to courses you would otherwise take
at the university you transfer to for the completion of your BA.
Sexism? Today?

Diplomas
If you already have some idea of where your interests lie,
try one of our two-year diplomas. Each allows you to transfer to BC universities for further education,
or to graduate directly to employment opportunities in a
variety of fields.
What’s wrong with the economy?
Diploma in Criminal & Social Justice
This program provides students with an Arts-based criminal and social justice education. Students take courses in Sociology, Psychology,
Political Science, and Criminology, as well as elective Arts courses. Fields of inquiry may include indigenous studies, gender studies, race and
ethnicity, globalization, and poverty.
Tasers: yes or no?
Diploma in Environmental Studies
This program offers students the opportunity to obtain an understanding of
the physical principles governing the environment and the social and cultural aspects that influence human behaviour
towards the environment. An interdisciplinary model equips students with the critical and analytical skills to think through the complex factors that
influence our understanding of the environment.
Who did this?
Diploma in Media & Cultural Studies This interdisciplinary program offers
students a range of courses from departments including Communications,
English, Sociology, Anthropology, Women’s Studies, and Geography.
Students examine the rich interrelationship between media and
culture in contemporary society and explore how culture is produced,
commodified, communicated, regulated, and consumed.
What’s the difference?
Diploma in Writing & Publishing
This program provides students with a solid grounding in four areas: creative and literary writing,
publishing, communications, and business. Students receive applied
training in print and web-based publishing, accounting, marketing,
and management, as well as in creative, cultural, and professional
communications.
Write. Design. Promote.
