Social Science The two-year Social Science program provides a sound framework within which several different disciplines can be studied and appreciated. Furthermore, students completing a Social Science concentration will acquire college-level abilities such as critical thinking, reasoning, judgment, analysis and synthesis, and problem solving. Students who demonstrate these abilities are among the most sought after by employers. Students who take this program will be able to pursue a university degree in one of the following areas of study:
The Social Science Program will enable students to choose among the following careers:
The Program is Well Structured and Organized A major objective of the program is to help students understand the Social Sciences as an integrated body of knowledge. Teaching in Champlain St-Lambert"s Social Science program is structured to ensure that courses complement each other. This coherence is essential to success in the program and at university. The Learning is Dynamic In addition to traditional class lectures, teachers use a wide variety of teaching methods to keep classes interesting and dynamic. Multimedia, computer simulations, resources from current events and the news, and debating are all part of teaching and learning at Champlain St-Lambert. The Teachers are Dedicated The Social Science teachers regularly work together and with their students to find new ways to keep the Social Science program truly alive and to ensure that their students are well prepared for university.
Diploma of Secondary School Studies or the equivalent, including Physical Science 416 and Mathematics 514 or 436. Students graduating from a French high school in Quebec must also have successfully completed English as a Second Language at the Secondary V level. Champlain St-Lambert will offer admission to as many qualified candidates as possible. Space limitations can, however, have an impact. When too many applications are received for a particular program, students with the highest academic standing will be admitted first.
The two-year program in Social Science requires students to take 29 courses. These courses include a General Education component, a Concentration Component and an Integrated Project (300-301) that teaches students to analyze the links between at least two Social Science disciplines (Economics and Politics, for example) 14 General Education Courses
15 Concentration Courses This is the specialization part of the Social Science program in which students take courses from a broad range of subjects. Of the 15 required courses, 6 are compulsory, while the other 9 can be selected from different areas known as "disciplines". The required courses are:
The Social Science disciplines are:

Enriching
Option For students wishing to explore an interest in either environmental issues or international affairs, Champlain St-Lambert offers two enriching options which can be completed while pursuing a DEC. Upon completion of their collegial studies, enriching option students will receive both a CEGEP diploma (DEC) and a certificate in either Environmental Studies or World Studies. Students are not required to take any extra courses when registered in an enriching option. Environmental Studies Certificate The Environmental Studies enriching option is available to students in the Science, Social Science and Commerce programs. It is an interdisciplinary option with a focus on contemporary environmental issues. It is designed to meet the needs of students who have an interest in all aspects of global issues and concerns. World Studies Certificate The World Studies enriching option is available to students in the Commerce and Social Science programs. This option will prove useful to those planning a career in public service or in areas of the private sector with international interests such as law, business and political science. Environmental Studies Enriching Option Admission to the Environmental Certificate Option is offered on a "first come, first served" basis to admitted Science, Social Science and Commerce students. Application forms will be mailed to students with their letters of admission to Champlain St-Lambert. World Studies Enriching Option Admission to the World Studies Certificate Option is based on the student's academic record and particular interests. It is open to admitted Commerce and Social Science students. Application forms will be mailed to eligible students. The Environmental Studies Enriching Option will encourage students to:
To complete the specialization in Environmental Studies, students must fulfill several requirements which include:
Course requirements for Science students
Course requirements for Social Science & Commerce students
The final project is usually undertaken during the fourth semester, after course requirements are almost complete. The nature of the project is determined by each individual student in consultation with a faculty advisor. Advisors from each of the course areas are available to students. Past projects have included the organization of Earth Day celebrations, conducting of experiments concerned with the environment, management of program activities for a semester and teaching of elementary school children about environmental issues. Optional activities undertaken during a semester are as diverse as the students themselves. Field trips, day hikes, guest speakers, debates, fundraising, and discussions are just a few of the ways Environmental studies students share information and interests. Activities are directed by the students. The World Studies Enriching Option will encourage students to:
To complete the specialization in World Studies, students must fulfill several requirements which include:
Some courses World Studies students will take are:
In addition, it is recommended that Social Science students choose their remaining concentration courses from those listed below:
In addition, it is recommended that Commerce students choose their remaining concentration courses from those listed below:
Activities World Studies students participate in a wide range of activities which further enrich their studies including: New York City and Washington D.C. Field Trips Some of the most popular activities are the annual trips to the United States. Each year, World Studies students travel with their teachers to New York City and Washington D.C. to visit institutions which play a major role in international affairs. In New York, students tour the United Nations Headquarters, attend special presentations by guest speakers from the U.N.'s different missions and visit popular New York City sights. In Washington, students attend seminars, tour U.S. government institutions as well as international organizations such as the World Bank, and visit major historical sites including the world famous Smithsonian museum. Seminars & Workshops Throughout the school year, World Studies students are invited to special presentations and workshops given by Champlain faculty and guest speakers. All experts are invited to provide an update or point of view on current issues. Guest speakers have included ambassadors, elected officials, faculty from universities, members of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, representatives from the Canadian International Development Agency, etc. These seminars are wonderful opportunities for students to identify the types of careers which could interest them. Simulations & Debates Two or three times each month, World Studies students and teachers organize simulations and debates where students get to practice their skills in diplomacy while "negotiating alliances" and "conducting peace talks".  |
