Program Overview

The Douglas College Music Associate of Arts Program gives you the practical experience and theory needed to build yourself a career or further your education. You’ll learn in private lessons with your chosen instrument or voice and take music courses in composition, ear training, instrumental improvisation, studio work, music theory, performance ensembles and more.

Performing experience
As part of your practical experience in the music program, you’ll get to perform in solo and small group ensembles for recitals, off-campus events, festivals, master classes and more. Depending on your instrument of choice, you’ll perform live in the concert band, choral groups, fusion bands, jazz combos, the percussion ensemble and other small ensembles.

What is an Associate degree?
Associate degrees take two years to complete and concentrate on one area of study. If you plan your courses carefully with a university program in mind, you’ll be able to transfer all 60 credits to university. In most cases, an associate degree will allow you to enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. To ensure your courses transfer, see the BC Transfer Guide.  

Get paid, full-time work experience during your studies
Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program, which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate. To participate in Co-op you need to plan two semesters in advance, so we strongly recommend contacting the Co-op Office at the start of your program.
