As a Social Sciences student, you might consider issues such as health care resourcing in Economics, study how decisions regarding health care are made by governments in Political Science or examine how different cultures approach the senior members of their society through studies in Anthropology. And much more!

Minor – this is the least intensive option, with just 4 credits of subject area focus
Find the Right Program At the end of your first year, you will choose your program(s), which means that your first year is an excellent opportunity to explore the full breadth of offerings at UTM. In addition to choosing a subject area, you will chose from one of three ways to study that subject.
Major – this option consists of 6 to 8 credits of subject area focus, and gives you the opportunity to mix and match your programs within your 20-credit undergraduate degree.
The choice is yours: you won’t be restricted to just the courses in your program. In fact, we encourage students to take courses outside of their main area(s) of study.
