通用艺术与科学二年级课程是为已完成其中一项通用艺术与科学证书课程且希望继续其专上学习以获得文凭的学生而设计的。该学习课程包括基础广泛的具有挑战性的课程。文凭的成功完成表明该学生已经发展了沟通和研究技能，以及对教育和就业都有益的人际交往能力。如果毕业生的平均绩点达到3.0或更高，则可以通过安大略省普通艺术与科学学院的文凭课程，在卡尔顿大学或渥太华大学申请学分转移。与其他大专院校也有衔接协议。对于选择申请另一门大学课程的毕业生，大学课程可能会为某些在通用艺术与自然科学课程中完成的课程提供豁免。
The General Arts and Science Year II program is designed for students who have completed one of the General Arts and Science Certificate programs and who wish to continue with their postsecondary studies to achieve a diploma. The program of study includes a challenging curriculum that is broad-based. Successful completion of the diploma demonstrates that the student has developed communication and research skills, as well as interpersonal skills that can be beneficial in both education and employment. With the General Arts and Science Ontario College Diploma, graduates can apply for a transfer of credits at either Carleton University or the University of Ottawa, if they achieve a Grade Point Average of 3.0 or better. Articulation Agreements also exist with other postsecondary institutions. College programs may grant exemptions for some courses completed in the General Arts and Science program for those graduates who choose to apply to another College program.
