Science and Society

Note: For purposes of meeting program requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor.

Course offerings may vary from year to year and students are advised to consult the supplemental calendar of the divisions of Social Science, Humanities or the program coordinator.

Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA Program

The Science and Society Program is an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. The program is jointly housed in the Divisions of Humanities and Social Science. Science and society majors must co-major in another department/discipline in the Faculty of Arts, Environmental Studies, or with a major program in physics and astronomy or earth and atmospheric science in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science. Students must take at least 36 credits in the Science and Society Program and at least 36 credits in the co-major according to the requirements and regulations specified by each department/discipline for an Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program. Courses taken to meet science and society requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the departmental/divisional major. Students in these interdisciplinary programs must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least six credits in Science and Society and six credits in the departmental/divisional major. For further details of requirements, see the listings for specific Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA programs.

Students must take 36 credits in the Science and Society Program, including:

  • one of AS/HUMA 1910 9.0, AS/HUMA 2915 9.0, or AS/SOSC 2040 9.0;
  • 24 additional credits chosen from the list of program courses;
  • AS/HUMA 4225 6.0.

Note: If one of AS/HUMA 1910 9.0 or AS/HUMA 2915 9.0 has been successfully completed, then a least six credits chosen from the list of program courses must be in the social science area. If AS/SOSC 2040 9.0 has been successfully completed, then a least six credits chosen from the list of program courses (in addition to AS/HUMA 4225 6.0) must be in the humanities area.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours BA program in the Faculty of Arts. Courses taken to meet science and society requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the major program.

The Honours Minor in science and society comprises at least 30 credits including the following:

  • one of AS/HUMA 1910 9.0, AS/HUMA 2915 9.0, or AS/SOSC 2040 9.0;
  • 18 additional credits chosen from the list of program courses;
  • AS/HUMA 4225 6.0.

Note: If one of AS/HUMA 1910 9.0 or AS/HUMA 2915 9.0 has been successfully completed, then a least six credits chosen from the list of program courses must be in the social science area. If AS/SOSC 2040 9.0 has been successfully completed, then a least six credits chosen from the list of program courses (in addition to AS/HUMA 4225 6.0) must be in the humanities area.

Note: Faculty of Arts legislation requires that, in order to obtain an Honours BA (120 credits), students must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 12 credits at the 4000 level in each Honours major or Specialized Honours major.
