This Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences program in International Development and Globalization is a four-year, 120-credit, on-campus degree offered by the University of Ottawa's School of International Development and Global Studies in English and French. The program combines academic theory with field experience through work and study terms in Canada and abroad, examining how and why some countries develop while others do not in an era of globalized markets and technological change. Students study sustainable development strategies addressing global inequality, climate change, and unequal access to education and health among marginalized populations, drawing on political science, sociology and economics. Experiential learning includes community-service placements with local organizations and international internships with social-impact organizations in more than 50 countries. Co-operative education and a French immersion stream are both available. Graduates are prepared for roles such as international development officer, international cooperation officer, humanitarian aid worker, foreign service officer, program monitoring and evaluation specialist, and international policy analyst.
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.
