The two-year Diploma in Arts and Science (Family Studies) is for individuals interested in understanding the nature of long-term relationships to further personal and/or career objectives. It is the only such program offered in the BC College system.

A Diploma in Arts and Science (Family Studies) requires a minimum of 60 credit hours of study. Up to 15 credit hours may include courses from the career and kinesiology course selections. Students must achieve a minimum ‘C’ GPA in the program’s core course offerings to be awarded a diploma. As part of the Interdisciplinary Studies department, the broad range of courses provides students with a sound basis for continuing their studies in a variety of academic disciplines including psychology, sociology, education, social work, and family sciences.

Selections from the program’s offerings, taken in conjunction with Langara College’s Certificate in Social Service Worker, would allow a student to receive a co-ordinated diploma.
