This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Science, Technology and Society over four years (five with the co-op option), delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus within the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities. This interdisciplinary field explores the complex, dynamic relationships between science, technology and society, examining how scientific discoveries and technological innovations affect society, culture, politics, ethics and everyday life. Students gain theoretical and methodological knowledge of science, technology and society, analyze and communicate about how the three intersect, and study the evolving interplay between science and technology and societal institutions, values, norms and practices amid economic, political, environmental and cultural change. The specialization can be taken with the Arts - General program. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms applied for directly through the OUAC application. It suits students aiming at careers such as policy analyst, policy developer, program evaluator, or consultant.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Science, Technology and Society beyond the OSSD prerequisites it lists and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins in September and January.
