Welcome to Social Sciences & Humanities!

The Social Sciences and Humanities Department encompasses both Family Studies and Social Science.

FAMILY STUDIES:

Family Studies is a multifaceted course of study that covers many different aspects of family life - from parenting, food and nutrition, clothing and textile care, resource management/finance, to relationships and communication. Students taking these courses will be given opportunities for hands-on learning to better prepare them to take care of themselves, take care of others and better understand the functions of families in Canada.

SOCIAL SCIENCES:

Students taking social science courses develop a critical lense through which they can respond with respect to increasingly complex, multifaceted issues in our diverse society. This provides students with essential knowledge and transferable skills applicable to their personal and family lives, as well as to their postsecondary studies, the workplace and the world they live in.
