Compare fields, credentials and transfer routes

Start with broad discovery

The finder spans academic, career, trades and continuing-education choices. Similar subjects can lead to certificates, diplomas, associate degrees, degrees, upgrading or apprenticeship training, so compare the credential and course plan before applying.

Use Associate of Arts as an example

The Associate of Arts Degree is a 60-credit credential with on-campus, digital and blended delivery. It combines English, humanities, social sciences, science and electives; students build a course plan rather than assuming every subject runs at every campus or term.

Its published full-program estimate is $9,480 domestic or $35,185 international, subject to change and possible additional fees. Both estimates exclude books, which the page estimates at $200 per course.

Treat transfer as conditional

The page describes the credential as transferable to universities in Canada, while NIC's transfer guidance directs students to agreements and the BC Transfer Guide. Receiving institutions decide admission and credit, so a pathway is not a transfer guarantee.
