The Distinct and Diverse Communities program involves courses offered through Brock University, Sault College of Applied Arts and Technology, and an Anishinabek Educational Institute (AEI) in Ontario. This program combines a four-year degree at Brock with practical coursework and training in a variety of applied social service settings at the college 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 our Aboriginal communities in the Province of Ontario. At Brock, students complete an integrated series of courses from a wide variety of disciplines. At the college and the AEI, students complete a diploma 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 would ordinarily involve six 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.
