First Year Options

Students are able to enter directly into the Faculty of Social Sciences. The following options are available to students:

1. Enter Social Sciences directly but do not declare a Major.

2. Enter Social Sciences directly and declare one of the majors that the Faculty offers (Anthropology, Archaeology, Economics, Geography, History, Linguistics, Linguistics and Language, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, or Urban Studies).

3. Enter Social Sciences directly and declare one of the Collaborative or Interdisciplinary degrees offered (Latin American Studies, International Indigenous Studies, International Relations, or East Asian Studies). Note that students wishing to enter the Earth Science or Environmental Science programs must wait until their second year (having completed five full-course equivalents). During their first year they may reside in either Social Sciences or the Faculty of Science Natural Sciences program.

Students are able (but not required) to declare a Major as a first year student in the Faculty of Social Sciences. However, by the time they have completed five full-course equivalents, students mustchoose a Major. In the Faculty of Social Sciences, we strongly believe that students should be exposed to a range of academic disciplines both in their first year of study, and throughout their program. All Social Sciences students regardless of whether they have declared a Major, are strongly encouraged to complete three courses (one and one-half full-course equivalents) from different disciplines in the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Students are also reminded that they must fulfill the Effective Writing Requirement within twelve months of their admission to the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ.
