13 campuses across Nova Scotia
Over 140 program options - suitable for all types of students
Nova Scotia is experiencing a shortage of skilled workers (shipbuilding)
Application format has changed Articulation agreements exist in
many programs
Articulation Agreement “2+2”
Something to think about
NSCC has a large number of programs that qualify for “2 + 2”. Through agreements made with universities across Canada, a student who completes specific NSCC diploma programs can receive advance standing in certain degree programs.
For example, achieving the business administration diploma at NSCC gives a student advance standing in the Commerce degree program at several universities. There are definite cost advantages to this! You can check this out through the link to “articulation agreements” on the NSCC website.
