Your Path to Graduation
All college programs in Quebec have a graduate profile that outlines the competencies students are expected to develop to graduate from the program. To assess whether these expectations are met, students complete a comprehensive assessment (CA).
Social Science Graduate Profile
Graduates of the St. Lawrence Social Science Program should be able to:
- Explain human realities by using the main facts, concepts, theories, models and approaches specific to the social science disciplines in a multidisciplinary perspective
- Examine and address, in an inclusive manner, various issues related to citizenship in today’s world, to cultural diversity, and to civic engagement
- Use academic work tools and methods as well as the technology, including information technology, needed to successfully pursue their studies
- Demonstrate scientific and intellectual curiosity, and think critically with a concern for ethical issues
- Experiment with social science research methods in accordance with ethical standards
- Convey ideas in a clear and organized manner in English, both orally and in writing, in the context of social science studies
- Read and understand information resources in French in the context of social science studies
- Demonstrate integration of discipline-specific knowledge and methodological skills required for the study of human realities
- Foster life and self-improvement skills and encourage participation in a global, diverse and digital society;
- Learn and work autonomously, by considering one’s learning processes and by designing, planning, carrying out and evaluating projects to meet one’s goals
Social Science Comprehensive Assessment
What will be assessed?
The comprehensive assessment will be completed in the IA course that you take in your last semester. See the IA course description in any of the profiles of the Social Science Program.
You must demonstrate your individual ability to integrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed throughout your program by preparing, writing and presenting, both orally and in writing, a social science research essay that uses scholarly sources in French and in English, that considers at least three disciplinary perspectives, and that incorporates collection and analysis of primary data. In other words, you are expected to consolidate and demonstrate your achievement of the expectations of the graduate profile.
The subject for the senior research paper will be selected in consultation with the professor. The research paper is to be at least 2,500 words in length. A bibliography of 10 to 15 sources is required with three to five French sources.
How will it be assessed?
The comprehensive assessment will lead to a pass/fail grade based on the attainment of the elements of the graduate profile in the IA course. You must complete all required IA course work in order to pass the comprehensive assessment. Incomplete course work will result in no grade for the final paper, and thus a failing grade for both the IA course and the comprehensive assessment.

The St. Lawrence Social Science program was truly my passport to the world; with no boarding pass required! I had the chance to explore everything from foreign languages to geography, history, psychology, sociology, and even business. What made it even more special was the incredible teachers from across the globe, whether it was the UK, Germany, Mexico, or El Salvador, who opened my eyes to diverse perspectives and cultures. I also adored the freedom to curate my own schedule and path, all while having a supportive system that always had my back. And that final Integrative Activity? It sharpened my research skills and gave me a real head start on my university journey. This wasn’t just a program, it was a one-of-a-kind launchpad.
Bon Pham
Social Science student
After completing the Social Science program at St. Lawrence, I have a much deeper understand of society, from not just one perspective but many. As I progressed, each new discipline I encountered—taught by professors from diverse backgrounds and with varied teaching styles—felt like a new piece to the puzzle of how the world works. From exploring human behaviour in psychology to studying how civilizations rise and fall in history, the Social Science program felt fresh and interesting from start to finish.
Dominic Gaumont
Social Science student
As a psychology professor with nearly 30 years of experience, I can say with great pride that the Social Science Department at St. Lawrence College is truly something special. Our dedicated and talented faculty pour their hearts into teaching and supporting students, and it shows. Time and again, we hear from students how satisfied they are—not only with their choice of programme but with the warmth, care, and inspiration they find within our small department. We may be modest in size, but we have a big heart! Our instructors are deeply committed and available, creating an environment where students feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow. It’s a joy to be part of such a vibrant and caring academic community!
Meagan Daley
Psychology teacher
The social science program has granted me a direction I never thought I’d have. Before I entered the program, I had no idea where I was going, but thanks to the wide variety of topics covered, I was able to narrow down my interests and realize what was right for me. Along the way I’ve made new friends and improved my skills as a researcher, speaker, and writer.
Jeremy Rhéaume
Social Science student
Social sciences at St. Lawrence is more than a simple program; it is a way to learn more about the world and about ourselves. For me, this program broadened my horizons and made me gain interests in topics I otherwise would never have considered. I am now going out into the world with better knowledge of myself and of what I am capable of.

The Social Science Student Experience
St. Lawrence offers a wide range of opportunities to gain hands-on experience through clubs, events, and activities. The following clubs may be of particular interest to students in the Social Science program:
- Model United Nations Club
- Intercultural Club
- Health & Wellness Club
All extracurricular activities are open to all St. Lawrence students. Visit the Clubs & Sociocultural Activities page for more information and the complete list of clubs.
