Start Your Education with the General Arts and Science – Science Program

When you were a child did you enjoy building volcanoes for sciences class? Did you always like experimenting with the chemicals in your middle school chemistry class? Now that you’re finished high school, you might still enjoy this field but are not sure if it’s the right choice for you. Or, perhaps, you need to enhance your skills before you can apply for university. Centennial College’s General Arts and Science – Science program helps students to gain a general understanding of college-level science classes for a variety of purposes.

There are a few categories of applicants who will find this undertaking both useful and appealing. For example, if you’re unsure whether university is for you or whether a career in the field of science is what you’re really passionate about, the General Arts and Science – Science program will be beneficial to you. That’s because it covers a wide range of courses to help you find your niche and discover if this type of learning environment suits you. Also, students who are interested in the fields of health, engineering, applied sciences or transportation can take this program and receive a solid foundation for further education. Lastly, if you’re convinced that science is your path and college is the route to enter the field, but you do not possess the academic admission credentials needed to enter a program of your choice, then this Centennial College program may be for you. Students who have not finished high school or completed required science courses for post-secondary programs may be accepted.

In the General Arts and Science – Science program, you will study a range of science centred subjects such as biology and chemistry. But that’s not all. You will also learn communication and research skills, math and technology math, psychology and more. Running eight months in length, this is a great starting base to expand into a variety of programs. In fact, students who complete the one-year Science program with acceptable academic standing may be eligible to transfer to Centennial’s Practical Nursing or Pharmacy Technician programs.

To gain entry into General Arts and Science – Science, you must possess at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent or be 19 years of age or older. You must also have the compulsory English 12C or U, or skills assessment or equivalent. However, possession of minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to program.
