U of T (St. George) Social Sciences

University of Toronto — St. George

The published admission average for Social Sciences at University of Toronto — St. George is 83–90% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code TAX.

Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work — covering everything from politics and law to anthropology and economics. Unlike a specialist program in one subject, this degree lets you combine courses across multiple disciplines so you can explore what interests you most. It suits students curious about human behaviour, culture, institutions, and social change who want flexibility to discover their focus before committing to a narrow path.

Plain-English summary. The universities publish requirements but not an explanation of the program, so this one is written for you and checked against the official listing above. Read the university’s own page before you decide.

What this leads to

The picture for aboriginal studies as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Environmental and social analysts work in consulting and community engagement. Many graduates become policy analysts in federal agencies like Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Indigenous Services Canada, or work in community organizations managing programs and developing partnerships.

In its favour

  • Access to specialized federal employment programs: The Aboriginal Student Employment Program at Health Canada provides practical employment in your field of study and federal recruitment explicitly targets Indigenous graduates.
  • Real networking advantage: Employers often hire people they know, and you can build your network through clubs, classes, and informational interviews—this degree opens doors in a tight community.
  • Growing sector: Thousands of Indigenous job postings exist across Canada, and governments are committing to hire Indigenous peoples for policy and program roles.
  • Land-based learning: Indigenous Studies offers courses on how to work respectfully and productively with Indigenous communities and organizations through experiential and land-based learning.

Worth knowing

  • Heavy reliance on internships and co-op: Working in your desired field through co-op programs and internships is very important to gain industry experience—without this, entry-level jobs are harder to find.
  • Narrow entry-level path: Most postings target specific sectors (government, non-profits, Indigenous organizations). Private sector jobs are rare, limiting flexibility early on.
  • Graduate degree often expected: Additional education and training may be required, and many mid-level positions require a Master's degree or doctorate.
  • Competitive networking field: Your success depends heavily on relationships and reputation within a relatively small professional community in Canada.

How AI is changing this work

The field of Indigenous peoples and AI is developing, and there is currently no work on the translation between Indigenous knowledge and data-centric algorithmic approaches of AI. Academic literature on Indigenous communities and AI has focused on language preservation, government service access, and data sovereignty—meaning your work will likely involve *understanding* AI's impact on Indigenous peoples rather than being replaced by it. The core work—community engagement, policy analysis, and cultural knowledge—remains fundamentally human. However, Indigenous knowledge systems are often misrepresented or entirely absent in AI models, leading to harm, which means there is growing demand for your expertise to correct this gap.
