This two-year program is designed for students who wish to acquire a general education in the arts and sciences while having the flexibility to explore other potential educational options within the college or other post-secondary academic institutions. Students will acquire knowledge and skills in three major disciplines: humanities, applied mathematics and science, and social and behavioural sciences. In the second year, the opportunity exists for students, in consultation with the program coordinator, to select from a variety of post-secondary courses in the major discipline of their choice. In this way, a program is constructed to meet each student's goals. During this program, students will participate in a course on career options.

Students graduating after the fourth semester often seek admission to specific vocational programs of their choosing at Conestoga or elsewhere. Other graduates choose to continue their education by pursuing degree programs at Conestoga or at university.
