Work and Organizations: Social Sciences Contexts is a Major program within the Honours Bachelor of Arts at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts & Science, delivered at the St. George campus. The program takes an interdisciplinary approach to the changing nature of work and the operation of organizations, drawing on economics, political science, sociology and psychology to examine how economic and social action is coordinated within organizational settings. It is one of three parallel streams of the Work and Organizations Major, alongside Humanities Contexts and Sciences Contexts, and students may complete only one of the three. Enrolment is limited: students apply after completing 4.0 credits, using an introductory course in economics, political science, sociology or psychology as the basis for admission. Students may add an Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) work-integrated learning stream, most commonly entered in Fall of Year 2. The Major forms part of a four-year Honours Bachelor of Arts degree.

Admission Requirements: Ontario applicants apply through OUAC 101/105 and need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/M subjects including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); Calculus & Vectors is recommended, and the co-op component of Grade 12 courses is not used for admission. Enrolment in the Social Sciences Contexts stream of the Work and Organizations Major is limited: after completing 4.0 credits, students must complete one of ECO101H1, ECO105Y1, GGR112H1, GGR124H1, IRW100H1, IRW230H1, POL101H1, POL106H1, POL107H1, POL109H1, PSY100H1 or SOC100H1/SOC150H1, and a final grade below 67% in that course is not considered for admission; meeting the minimum does not guarantee a space.
