Ontario College Diploma in General Arts and Science (Gas) (Cornwall) in Ottawa Canada | St. Lawrence College

The General Arts & Science Diploma offers a comprehensive liberal arts education designed to equip students for employment, college programs, or university transfer. Foundational courses establish key competencies in communication, interpersonal skills, computer literacy, mathematics, analytical thinking, science, and general studies. Students can personalize their learning through diverse electives including Film Studies, Addiction Counseling, Health & Fitness, and Psychology, all selected in partnership with their program coordinator to align with individual aspirations.
This adaptable program allows course sequencing to be adjusted based on student objectives and class scheduling.
The curriculum includes mandatory core subjects that build essential skills in communication, technology, quantitative reasoning, and scientific literacy. Students then tailor their education through advisor-approved electives. Graduates gain immediate workforce readiness or the academic foundation for university transfer.
Those planning university studies should consider the pre-university diploma pathway. Pre-University students collaborate closely with their coordinator to design a specialized curriculum emphasizing critical academic disciplines (Writing, STEM, Social Sciences, Quantitative Methods) relevant to their future studies. Articulation agreements with multiple Canadian institutions provide transfer possibilities - students should proactively investigate these options. For detailed guidance, please consult the program coordinator.
