How may we help you today?

Enrichment, Engagement, Leadership

Students in all Social Science concentrations can apply to the Honours Distinction in Social Science after their first semester and are selected based on their academic standing and a letter of intent. As a student in the Honours Distinction, you will get to:

  • Enroll in enriched sections of certain Social Science and/or Mathematics courses.
  • Engage more deeply in the program through activities that include special guest lectures, group seminars, site visits and social events.
  • Play a leadership role in College life by organizing and contributing to Social Science events and serving as an ambassador of the program.

Social Science Mentorship Program

Honours students also get priority access to the Social Science Mentorship Program (SScMP) in which Social Science students are paired with Marianopolis alumni studying or working in the social sciences, business, or law related fields. The mentorship program leverages the College’s extensive alumni network to cultivate lasting bonds and provide students with the guidance, insight, and skills that seek to succeed in their university and professional pathways.

Thank you to our 2024-2025 Mentors!
