PROGRAM OF STUDY
Particular emphasis is placed on problem solving, knowledge building and effective use of information for practice, including skills in consumerism research. Great emphasis is placed on integration and appropriate utilization of didactic, simulation and field experiences. These modes of delivery are enhanced by extensive use of audiovisual and computing resources in the school and university.
Through curricular links, first-year students begin to emphasize the lessons relevant to the track they have been admitted to. Due to the emerging nature of social problems and the spread of knowledge, the curriculum is constantly revised and changed. Students may take up to 6 credits outside of school if they receive prior approval from the advisor and dean.
