Profiles of the Marianopolis College Social Science Program
The Program is officially divided into Profiles which allow for the completion of the Social Science Diploma. A Profile is a set of courses focusing on a broad subject from which you may select courses. While remaining broad enough to fulfill the goal of a general education, Profiles help create greater coherence in your educational experience, making it easier to establish links among the courses taken, and offering greater possibility to explore subjects of interest. Working with Profiles helps foster success and better prepares you for studies at the university level.
The Marianopolis Profiles do not require that you take extra courses to achieve the College diploma. These Profiles offer a range of courses and activities designed to enrich your college experience. The sequence of courses has been designed to make it possible to change profile even into the third semester at the College. Each Profile offers a list of courses from which to choose. Some courses are very focused on the Profile while others are more general. These latter courses include a component or module that touches on the Profile. In all courses listed under the Profile, the student will undertake a project/activity related to it.
