Hi there! I stumbled upon your site while trying to figure out what I can study if admitted to the social sciences program. I applied originally for commerce, but was accepted into social sciences instead. What is social science and what would I be studying (I’m sorry if that sounds completely ignorant)? Would I be able to transfer into the commerce program eventually? I don’t want to accept the offer if I’m not sure what I’ll be studying.<\/p>\n

Thanks a lot for your help!<\/p>\n

Hey Sarah,<\/p>\n

Social science is a whole range of programs so you can study virtually whatever you want as long as you meet the requirements.<\/p>\n

Off the top of my head, social sciences can include sociology, anthropology, economics, women and gender studies, political science, yada yada yada. Take a look at this giant list<\/a> though to get a better feel.<\/p>\n

As for transferring to commerce… well, take a look at this post<\/a> all about transferring into Rotman after spending first year in Arts & Science. To be completely honest, chances are quite slim, but there’s always hope as long as you get the grades! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
