Dawson has a brand new Social Science Program for Fall 2023

After three years of work, the input of more than 100 teachers and professionals, and consultation with universities and other stakeholders and partners, Dawson’s Board of Governors approved the program in October 2022. Social Science is the most popular pre-university program at Dawson and in Quebec. Dawson’s program and profiles have all been thoroughly rethought and refreshed to form a new generation of social scientists.

The new program is intended to allow students to explore the disciplines as much as possible and there is no better place than Dawson for that. All 11 social science disciplines are available at Dawson and students can take courses in a minimum of five different disciplines and a maximum of seven depending on the profile they have chosen.

A total of eight profiles will be offered, including the brand new Society and Technology Profile, which is unique in Quebec.
