 The College has developed two interlinked Programmes which form a Three-year or Two-year Programme leading to an Associate in Arts Degree.
Within the three-year Programme there is a One-year University Foundation Diploma (UFD) Programme leading to a Diploma, which is followed by a Two-year Associate Degree (AD) Programme leading to an Associate in Arts Degree with 3 alternative Concentrations in 2010-12 in International Business, Social Sciences and Global Media and Communication.
