Science and Social Science (Commerce)

This double DCS program combines the strengths of Vanier's pre-university Science profiles (Pure and Applied or Health and Life Science) and Commerce program. Students develop their knowledge in the sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and Mathematics (Calculus, Algebra) while learning key business concepts and frameworks. With the addition of introductory Social Science courses and instruction in research methods, graduates leave well prepared for studies in virtually any domain of Science, Social Science or Business Administration.

The program is particularly suited to those interested in a domain that involves management, private practice or consultancy, such as architecture, engineering, dentistry, therapy, medicine, pharmaceutics and more. This 3-year, 6-semester program enables students to focus on 6 courses per semester (with 5 in the final semester), instead of the usual 7 or 8. Graduates will meet all the requirements for both pre-university diplomas: a DCS in Science and a DCS in Social Science: Commerce.
