| Description | Studying social change at Canada’s innovation university requires creativity and courage, not just theories and formulas. The flexible options in the Social Development Studies (SDS) program allow students to pursue their passion for changing the world. Our students want to make a difference and solve the problems they see in the world around them. SDS combines psychology, sociology, social work and interdisciplinary SDS courses. Students gain an understanding of how to approach social issues from different angles. Knowledge and skills gained in small classes (capped at 60 students) and hands-on obtained experience will prepare you for a career in social work, counselling, education, public service, human resources, law, or in community or international service organizations.
The SDS program is offered as a 3-year general or 4-year honours BA.
