Humanities and Social Sciences Diploma

This diploma program at Medicine Hat College provides the basic knowledge and skills that support a process of academic discovery and individual development, and it is designed to supplement or complement other programs of study at the college. The two-year program runs on fall, winter, and spring intakes at the Medicine Hat campus, offering more entry points across the year than most diploma programs there. Coursework spans academic subjects across the humanities and social sciences, building general academic skills applicable to further study or a range of career paths, without committing students to a single specialization early on. The program suits students who want a broad, transferable academic foundation, whether pursuing it as a standalone credential or combining it with another program of study at the college.
