The Associate Degree is a two year academic credential available with an Arts or Science focus. The British Columbia Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) initiated development of this provincial credential at the request of British Columbia's (BC's) public post-secondary institutions. In March 2003, BCCAT prepared a report detailing the number and type of associate degrees awarded by BC colleges, university colleges, and institutes for the period 1993/1994 to 2001/2002. This document includes the original data and adds four years' worth of new data up to 2005/2006. The source for the 2002/2003 to 2005/2006 data is the Central Data Warehouse (CDW) to which all colleges, university colleges, and institutes began submitting program level and other data by 2002. (Contains 2 footnotes, 5 figures, and 5 tables.) [For "Associate Degrees Awarded in British Columbia: 1993/94 to 2001/02," see ED504976.]
