Social Science

The Bachelor of Social Science differs from regular undergraduate degrees in that it focuses solely on theory, social statistics, quantitative and qualitative social research, the philosophy of social science, and the scientific method.

The Bachelor of Social Science program offers courses in Anthropology, Criminology, Economics, Environmental Planning, Geography, Community Development, History, Human Ecology, Human Services, International Development, Industrial Relations, International Relations, Political Science, Psychology, Demography, Public Health, Public Policy, Sustainability, Statistics, Sociology, and Mass Communication and Journalism.

The Bachelor of Social Science can also be coupled with a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Social Work, or Bachelor of Economics to form a joint degree. Honours degrees and other postgraduate work can help students and researchers progress their studies.
