CERTIFICATE & ASSOCIATE DEGREE

 


West Los Angeles College provides educational programs that lead to transfer to four-year colleges and universities as well as career programs that lead to an Associate Degree or Certificate.

CERTIFICATES AND ASSOCIATE DEGREES

Students wishing an Associate Degree may obtain two years of career training along with selected General Education courses in a chosen field. Students desiring only career oriented courses may choose a Certificate Program as their objective.

Certificate programs are usually one-year educational programs, which offer necessary courses needed to prepare students for immediate employment. The Certificate Program is specific, and no course substitution will be permitted unless approved by the department. A "C" (2.0) grade point average or better is required in all work attempted toward the Certificate curriculum. Completion of at least 12 units of work in residence and attendance at West Los Angeles College during the semester in which the requirements are completed are also necessary. During the final semester in which completion of requirements takes place, students should petition for a Certificate from the Admissions Office.

Units earned toward a Certificate may be applied toward the Associate Degree of the same major.

For both the Degree and Certificate program, transcripts from all other colleges attended must be on file in the Admissions Office. A 2.0 GPA is required for all certificates as well as graduation.
