Choosing a college is a big decision. The key is to remember that there's
no such thing as a "perfect" school—you'll find many colleges and universities
that match your preferences, however it is usually harder to find one that explores
your interests and that's just right for you.

Let us help you to make the right decision.  To begin, here is a starting point;  

Associate degrees are two-year junior college degrees. Associate degree holders earn, on average,  
$35,000 per year more than high school diploma holders, and enjoy 70% lower unemployment rates. After
getting your Associate degree, you typically need only another 2 years to get your Bachelor's degree.

How long will it take for you to complete the degree?
It will take you approximately two years to earn your associate's degree, provided you attend class full-time.
Many students who cannot afford to commit to school full-time take longer to finish their associate's degree,
unless they commit the summer sessions for classes. Most associate's degree programs require you to
complete 60 semester credits.

Your Degree at Colbourne:
The Associate Degree in Business Administration will suit you just fine, because it allows you to explore
other areas of interests.  Along with core business areas and general study courses, you get to choose a

Information and Communication Technology, Legal Administration/Paralegal studies, Health Care
Administration, Early Childhood/Day Care Centre Management, Human Resource Management, Financial
Management, Social Studies, Economics and many other options.

Other Benefits:
You earn the internationally recognised Diploma from the University of Cambridge International
Examination, a department of the University of Cambridge England, at the end of the first year of study.  

Additionally, if you wish to pursue the Teachers Diploma, you will complete an additional 6-8 courses after
completing the Associate Degree.  The Teachers Training Diploma is also an  accredited award from the
University of Cambridge, England.
