Social Science

Arts:

The Division of Social Science offers a wide range of interdisciplinary courses. Many of these courses are offered in conjunction with the interdisciplinary programs which are housed in the division, including African studies, business and society, communication studies, criminology, health and society, international development studies, labour studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, law and society, science and technology studies, social and political thought, South Asian studies and urban studies.

Selected 1000- and 2000-level courses offered through the Division of Social Science are a part of the Faculty of Arts foundations program. These courses have a nine-credit value, and as a part of the Faculty of Arts general education requirement, introduce students to interdisciplinary study and emphasize critical thinking, reading and writing skills at the university level. (For purposes of meeting program requirements, all foundations courses will count as six credits towards the major or minor.)

Not all of the courses listed below will necessarily be offered in any given year. For details of courses to be offered, please consult the Division of Social Science supplemental calendar.
