HSS began offering the Second Major Programme in 2005. The objective of the Second Major is to allow HSS students to graduate with a second Major in another discipline offered by the School. Alternatively, HSS students can pick a second major from the School of Communication and Information, while HSS Economics Majors have the additional option of choosing to double major in Business. As in the Minor programmes, the second major provides HSS students with breadth of exposure. However, the second major is also designed to provide greater depth of study in an additional discipline. Students will graduate with a BA Honours degree in their First Major upon satisfying the academic requirements of the School. The Second Major will be shown on the final transcript.
