The Division of Social Science is
committed to maintaining these high standards of a liberal
education in all our courses; our responsibility within the
Faculty of Arts (along with the Division
of Humanities) is interdisciplinary teaching. We do this
in two ways. First, we provide 1000- and 2000-level Foundations
courses through which Faculty of Arts students may fulfill
their Social Science general-education requirements.
Second, the Social
Science Division is comprised of twelve interdisciplinary
programs (African
Studies, Business
and Society, Communications
Studies, Criminology,
Health and
Society, International
Development Studies, Labour
Studies, Latin
American and Caribbean Studies, Law
and Society, Social
and Political Thought, South
Asian Studies and Urban
Studies) delivering courses in their fields of specialization.
These programs offer a range of degree options that may include
a specialized major, a major or honours-major, a double-major,
an honours minor, a well as other formats for specialization
in the field.
Apart from some
upper-level courses, most of the Division's courses in these
programs are open to students who are not program majors;
please consult the various programs for a listing of their
courses, or consult the courses
listed by year. Please note that students can only be
enrolled in designated ESL sections through the Faculty
of Arts Student Academic Centre.
