Social Sciences | 300.A2 | DEC in Social Sciences: International Studies

The Social Sciences: International Studies DEC program prepares students for a wide spectrum of university programs by exposing them to various disciplinary perspectives on humankind and our world. This program allows students to acquire a general education that includes an emphasis on quantitative abilities and an introduction to basic principles in economics and business. LaSalle College encourages continuous exchange of know-how and expertise between its schools, its affiliates abroad and the world of business. This program focuses on intercultural education and responsible citizenship.

The program has three profiles: Global Vision, International Studies, and Individual and Society. The first focuses on a solid social science education with a focus on international realities; the second consists of an introduction to the fundamental principles of management and mathematics; and the third comprises prerequisites for psychology and educational psychology programs in universities.

As of now, at LaSalle College, students have the option to study in both French and English. It is our bilingual option.
