Human and Social Sciences - Direct - International Year One (UTP Stage II) (Optional Co-op)

The Faculty of Human and Social Sciences (FHSS) offers many opportunities to explore complex issues relevant to today’s society. Students will learn to identify and explore social issues and build real-world connections between what they learn in class and the downtown community just outside the classroom door. Students are encouraged to develop their critical thinking skills and question assumptions, while the theoretical knowledge and practical experience they will gain through the programs will prepare them for a variety of careers. Faculty of Human and Social Science students are passionate about making a positive contribution both locally and globally and graduate with the skills to change the world.

During the UTP Stage II: Human and Social Sciences program students will take courses that provide a pathway to a wide range of disciplines including Community Health, Health Administration, Criminology, and Psychology.
