Arts

What does it mean to study Arts? It means to study the world, to take as your subject the critical issues facing us today: the environment, politics, race, class, poverty, gender, and inequality. It means to make the world your classroom, to make what you learn matter: to think and feel, to know and change, to understand and to take action.

Students can complete 60 credits of study at Okanagan College and transfer these credits fully to any BC university where they can begin the third year of study.
