say “no” to numbers!

Hi i am from Dubai and have been accepted for social science category at innis college i have not done math in 11th and 12th grade ( replace it with psycho) but i am interested to the do the following

political science ( requires no math i think )
social science ( requires no math i think)
economics ( require math )
Psychology ( require math )

i would also like to do begginers french

can u advise how i cant take eco and phyco with me not doing math at high school is there a way

Hey hey!

There’s no actual “social science” program, so take a look through the calendar and see what you’d like in place of it. Your ideal first year would probably have you taking:

1. POL101Y, the intro course for poli sci
2. SOC101Y or SOC102H+SOC103H, the intro course(s) for sociology, which is probably the closest you’ll get to “social sciences” — but my own personal little tidbit is that asjfhlghsakl I absolutely positively hated SOC101Y, so like… Maybe take the later combo since it’s less of an investment of your time… 😉
3. PSY100H, intro to psych
4. FSL100H or FSL102H, both of which are first-year french courses
5. ECO105Y, the intro to economics course you should take — I recommend this one as opposed to ECO100Y which uses more math since it’ll be viable for a major, but it won’t be for a minor, just to be clear

Now none of these courses actually REQUIRE you to have taken calculus or that you do so at the same time. Considering you haven’t touched it in the past two years, I’d recommend taking these courses and seeing if you actually like them before delving into programs that will require some strength with numbers.

But in the long run, you can only do a combination of three programs of study anyway, so you could very well just not use either your psych or economics. This means that if you ARE set on the two, you’ll have to get through the PUMP program to get some math prep since psych requires high school level calculus, which PUMP will allow you, and economics is going to require 100-level MAT courses, which PUMP will serve as the prerequisite for.

tl;dr, you can take the 100-level psych and economics courses, but if you want to make them your programs of study you’re doing to need to take the PUMP course at least.

Cheers!
