Bachelor of Arts (BA) - Honours<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Interdisciplinary Social Science degree program (ISS), offered by the Department of Social Science, provides students with a solid grounding in interdisciplinary social science research methods and critical social theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have the opportunity to critically examine historical and contemporary issues related to social and political thought, social justice and diversity, sustainability and the environment, social exclusion and identity, diaspora and global development. In addition to fostering strong theoretical and methodological training, the ISS program is based on a belief that social analysis cannot be separated from social practice. As such, professors and many students affiliated with the program are actively engaged in fostering social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are strongly encouraged to combine their ISS degree with another Major or Minor program either within the Department of Social Science, or in another department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
