Offered by St. Jerome's University in Waterloo, Canada, BA/BS in Sexualities, Relationships, and Families is a bachelor's degree in Gender & Sexuality Studies programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 58,000 per year (CAD 9,000 per year for local students).
This four-year general undergraduate program at St. Jerome's University, federated with the University of Waterloo, takes an interdisciplinary approach to human sexuality, relationships, and family life. Drawing on the humanities and social sciences, coursework provides a historical, theoretical, and ethical foundation for examining topics such as media influence, sexual health, and relationship dynamics across the lifespan. Upper-level students have the option to complete supervised practicum courses in community settings, and the program is recognized by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) as meeting coursework requirements toward the Certified Family Life Educator designation. The department also offers workshops related to sexuality education as part of student development. Alongside this general degree, the department offers an Honours specialization, a minor, and a diploma credential in the same subject area. The program suits students interested in understanding sexuality, relationships, and family dynamics from critical and applied perspectives, particularly those considering careers or further study in counselling, human services, or education.
Application Deadline:St. Jerome's University is federated with the University of Waterloo, so its undergraduate programs are admitted through Waterloo's own process rather than a separate SJU deadline. For programs other than Engineering, which cover all six SJU majors, the application deadline for September 2027 entry is February 1, 2027, with supporting documents such as transcripts due by February 15, 2027; Waterloo's deadlines page states plainly that 'international students have the same deadlines as those listed above.' Waterloo does not publish a fixed opening date on this page, and admission is not described as rolling: applications and documents received after the published dates are considered only as space allows. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
