ABOUT THE PROGRAM

To better serve you, St. Lawrence now offers (5) Program profiles leading to a D.E.C in Social Science. In order to determine which profile best suits your interests, please consult the specific courses required in each profile.

Social Science students take both first-level and second-level courses as a part of their program. First-level courses are introductory, first-year courses. They do not have college pre-requisites and can be taken in either the fall or winter semesters. A first-level course in a discipline must be completed before moving on to a second-level (or advanced) course in that discipline. A complete listing of second-level courses may be found in the description of each profile.

If you have a special interest in a particular subject or need more information about the Social Science Program, our academic advisor will be happy to speak with you. For example, should you be interested in Law, our academic advisor will look at including courses related to that subject in your progression. For those interested in Actuarial Sciences we will look at including a physics course, etc.

HISTORY (330)
