Postsecondary education may be daunting for some students, with the
heavy course loads and other priorities of being an adult. It can also
be expensive to many students, so it is best to ensure that they are
getting the most of their learning. An arts degree Toronto offer to new
postsecondary students can be found at Centennial College, which will
strengthen your overall aptitude and skill, which can be applied to any
areas of studies and at any work setting. The General Arts and Science –
Arts Program (6700) is offered for two semesters, where students will
learn a variety of topics.
Chris, one of the students in the program, enjoys the abundance
ofsociology-related courses within the program and states that it kept
him engaged, since it is the area he wants to specialize in, after
completing this general arts program. He says, "The reason why I decided
to join the General Arts and Science program at Centennial College was
because I wanted to lay a strong foundation before I went to
university."
Centennial is unique with its diverse culture within its school, and its
experienced faculty members. Unlike universities, this college engages
students with mentorship and guidance from their professors. Chris says,
"I like the atmosphere and the classroom the most. The classes tend to
be small, and the teachers give you one-on-one attention. So if you
help, they’re right there to assist you."
Students take this program as a stepping stone to a more specialized
program in university or college. New college students, laid off
workers, and other returning students feel that they can benefit from
this arts program at Centennial College, due to its broad learning environment. Interested applicants will need the following to register: - A secondary diploma from a high school or an equivalent
certification; or a mature student status (must be 19 years of age or
older)
- Minimum grade in Grade 12 English, in the college or university level
- An English Assessment test may be required from some applicants
"In the beginning of the program, I felt a little nervous because I
wasn’t sure what I got myself into. But now I feel confident, and I feel
like I have acquired a lot of knowledge I can carry forward, especially
in university," Chris confides. Centennial offers its students plenty
of support from its faculty and staff, and also have program-specific
assistance:
- Peer tutoring is available at no charge to all students. General
Arts and Science students can look for peer tutors for their courses
through the library’s online system.
- Peer mentoring pairs new college students with more experienced
students, to help them with the transition. Often, the two students are
in the same program or area of studies.
- The college’s online databases and resources provide plenty of
research and reading materials that may be required for the courses.
"Centennial College to me means flexibility. And they offer that through
the scheduling for the classes. It also means drawing from a diverse
background from the individuals that are in the classrooms. And this is
really good for the learning environment as you get different concepts
of materials from the different people in the classrooms," says Chris.
