Social Sciences

Préalables

• ENG4U
• MDM4U and/or MCV4U are required for certain degree programs

If you would like to major or specialize in Economics or Finance, you must have MCV4U to be able to complete the first-year Math requirements.

All specializations and majors in Psychology require a first-year university statistics course. MDM4U is a prerequisite for enrollment in the first-year statistics course; therefore, students are strongly recommended to complete it prior to starting their first year. MDM4U is also helpful in preparation for the sociology program and Social Work.

Basic Requirements for Admission

Ontario high school students who seek admission to King's in September 2025 must present the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and include a minimum of six 4U/M courses, including ENG4U. Other 4U/M courses may be required for admission, depending on the program.

Failed and Repeated Courses

If you fail and repeat a course or you choose to upgrade a particular course, King's will use the higher of the 2 grades presented when calculating the admission average.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

King's will extend offers of admission, scholarships, and residence to students with strong academic transcripts beginning in November and continuing into late May as more grades are received. You must be enrolled in or have completed prerequisite courses for your programs of choice. If you fall below the required average for admission and provide an Applicant Profile that describes extenuating circumstances and extracurricular activities, you will be considered on these grounds in mid-May.

Admission averages are based on the best six 4U/M marks, including required courses. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for admission to your requested program, you will be offered admission to an alternative program if you are qualified.
