Social Science (300.M_)

Program planner for Fall 2010 or Later – John Abbott College The following planner indicates all the courses needed and the usual path to complete your DEC in this program.

** Courses taken by some students may need to be adjusted due to recent changes brought to the “Charte de la langue française” by Bill 96. **

SOCIAL SCIENCE - GENERAL

Social Science is the study of all aspects of human life from many different perspectives. In addition to the compulsory courses in economics, history, methodology and psychology, students in John Abbott College’s Social Science program can choose courses in fields such as anthropology, business, classics, geography, mathematics, philosophy, political science, religion and sociology. The program’s greatest advantage lies in the depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding students acquire. Graduates gain valuable university skills in methods of research, writing, analysis, synthesis and the presentation of ideas.

  • Students who require a mise à niveau English or French course will be required to pass it before they can take their introductory course in English or French.
  • Students will be required to pass a Ministerial Exam of Language of Instruction and a Program Comprehensive Assessment. The Program Comprehensive Assessment is included in the Integration in the Social Sciences course (300-301-AB).
Semester 1
ENGLISH | 603-101-MQ

Students are required to successfully complete four (4) English courses to obtain their DEC. Courses 603-102 and 603-103 may be taken in either order only after successfully completing 603-101. Course 603-200-MQ is the 4th and last English course required. Click here to view courses list.

This course introduces students to the use and abuse of numbers in social research and reporting. Students learn where numbers come from, what to do with them, and what can be learned from them. The proper uses of basic descriptive statistics and statistical inference are explored through examples from all the Social Sciences. In addition to lectures, students experiment with a variety of quantitative methods using a statistical software package in a weekly laboratory.
