    Structure of Social Justice Major in the Bachelor of Arts:
    To complete a Bachelor of Arts with a Social Justice Major, you will study 24 courses, eight of which will form the Major. Normally you will take at least one course from your Major in each semester. Most Majors build sequentially in content, theme and skills and work towards the acquisition of advanced skills and knowledge by the completion of your third year of study.
    You may also choose to use eight elective courses to study a Second Major in another discipline or six elective courses to study a Minor in another discipline. Then you’ll have four or six more electives that you can select from any courses in the School of Arts & Sciences, providing you meet the pre-requisites that may apply.
    Plus the Core Curriculum and compulsory Academic Writing courses – that makes 24 courses.
