This Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences program is the In-depth Experiential Learning Stream (IELS) variant of International Development and Globalization, 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. It shares the core curriculum of the standard Honours program — combining academic theory with field experience through work and study terms in Canada and abroad, and examining sustainable development strategies for global inequality, climate change and unequal access to education and health — while integrating experiential learning directly into program requirements without extending the length of the degree. To receive the IELS designation on their diploma, students must complete at least 30 IELS-labelled course units, including the introductory course FSS 1300, 15 units of International Development and Globalization courses and 12 units of non-disciplinary IELS courses, such as applied projects, simulations and community-engagement placements. Co-operative education and a French immersion stream remain available. An additional per-term fee applies to support the stream's experiential-learning activities.
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.
