Hi,<\/p>\n
I’m in my second year but I just switched to a sociology major and I hope to get into the UofT Masters of Social Work program after my undergrad. The sociology program requirements are SOC200H1 and SOC202H1. In summer school, I’m taking? SOC200H1 and SOC202H1. Would I be able to NCR SOC202, or no because its a program requirement?<\/p>\n
Also, M.S.W admissions requirements say that candidates for admission to the Two-Year M.S.W. Full-Time Program shall have achieved at least a mid-B or better in the final year of full-time study or equivalent, in senior level courses (300 or 400 level). Does this mean that they will only look at the courses I take in fourth year, whether they be 300 or 400 level? Or will they also look at courses that I have taken in 3rd year? If I dont take a full course load in fourth year will they look at my 3rd year marks? And it says that I need a half-credit course in research methodology as well- do SOCC200 and SOC202 count as research methodology courses?<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
you CAN’T cr\/ncr any course that’s a program requirement, so you best leave SOC202 alone if you want it to count towards your sociology major.<\/p>\n
the only reason we could cr\/ncr program requirements?last semester is because of the?awful fever dream<\/a> that was the T.A. strike; but now we’re?back to normal, kids. back to the absolute delight that is taking courses in the summer. yay<\/a>.<\/p>\n as for your second question, the wording there seems intentionally ambiguous to me.<\/p>\n i’m going to GUESS that they said it that way<\/a> so that they have a bit of wiggle room. ’cause on?the one hand, it seems to mean pretty clearly that if you took any 100- or 200-level courses in your last year, they won’t consider those; they’ll only look at the senior courses<\/em> you took in?your last year<\/em>.<\/p>\n but i ALSO?have the feeling?that if you didn’t take enough?300- and 400-level courses in your fourth year, they might resort to your third year to get a better idea of your academic performance. keep in mind that students applying in their fourth year haven’t completed all their fourth year courses yet, so admissions committees?may have no choice but to use their third year in making an initial admission decision.<\/p>\n tl;dr: whatever 300- or 400-level courses you take are likely fair game for consideration. if you don’t take many in fourth year, then they may look at the ones in 3rd year.?this is something you’re more than free to ask someone at the faculty, by the way. they don’t have to answer, but you also have every right to ask.<\/p>\n if you’re considering not being full time (that’s less than 3.0 credits) in your final year, i would recommend talking to someone at factor-inwentash<\/a> about how that might affect your application.<\/p>\n and i’m almost positive soc200 and 202 count as research methodology courses.<\/p>\n
