2009-2010 Undergraduate Calendar

The Distinct and Diverse Communities program involves courses offered through Brock University, a number of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in the Province of Ontario, and an Aboriginal Education Institute (AEI) in Ontario. This four-year program combines either an Honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) Distinct and Diverse Communities or a BA With Major Distinct and Diverse Communities at Brock with practical coursework and training in a variety of applied social service settings at the colleges and the AEI.

Students obtain both solid applied skills and a strong theoretical foundation in a variety of aspects of social services. The program leads to career opportunities in a wide variety of areas in the social services that are aimed at assisting members of a number of distinct and diverse communities in the Province of Ontario. At Brock, students complete an integrated series of courses from a wide variety of disciplines. At the colleges and the AEI, students complete a diploma/certificate program that offers them applied knowledge and skills development and training in a specific area of social services. Obtaining both an Honours BA or BA with Major and a college diploma or certificate would ordinarily involve at least five years of study, but this program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.

Requirement for graduation with a BA (Honours) Distinct and Diverse Communities degree is a minimum 70 percent major average, a minimum 60 percent non-major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average. Requirement for graduation with a BA With Major Distinct and Diverse Communities degree is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

Further details concerning the Distinct and Diverse Communities program are available from the Office of the Dean of Social Sciences.
