Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Social Sciences with double Minor is a 120-unit undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Social Sciences that combines a core in the social sciences with two separate minors. The core includes compulsory courses in introduction to social sciences and social sciences research methods, plus additional optional and designated-program units, totalling roughly 24 units of core content. Each of the two minors requires 30 units, drawn from the Faculty of Social Sciences or another faculty. The remaining 30 units are a combination of a third minor, options and general electives. Students must also complete 6 units of writing skills courses, and at least 27 course units overall must be taken at the 3000 or 4000 level. The program pairs foundational social science knowledge with two areas of secondary specialization, serving as a springboard to further studies in fields such as law or education.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
