Prerequisitesas published	English, ENG4U Notes: All Honours Specializations and Majors in Psychology require a first-year university Math course; therefore any Grade 12 U-level Math is highly recommended for this program. Math is helpful in preparation for Sociology and Geography programs. MFH4U and MCV4U are required for all Economics modules. +1 more on the program page	ENG4U 1 of MCV4U, MDM4U, MHF4U	Successful completion of at least six 4U or 4M courses (U: pre-university; M: pre-university/pre-college) with a minimum overall average of 70%.

What it is	Social Science is a broad study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose a focus like economics, anthropology, history, or business studies, then take courses across that field. Western offers this as either a BA or BSc depending on your focus, and you can do it with co-op, meaning you alternate between school terms and paid work placements in your field.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study how organizations work and make money. You take courses in accounting, finance, management, human resources, and economics, learning both theory and practical skills for running or working in a business. This program is taught in French, so you need strong French-language skills and must complete foundational math courses, making it suited to students who want a business education while developing or maintaining French fluency.	This program lets you study mathematics while choosing how to apply it — through business, economics, statistics, artificial intelligence, or education. Unlike a pure mathematics degree, you're expected to connect mathematical theory to real-world problems in fields like finance, operations, or data analysis. It suits students who enjoy math but want flexibility to explore where it leads them, rather than committing to one specialty upfront.
