While studying Social Development Studies at Renison University College, students explore how human interactions are influenced by individual, collective, and structural forces including mental health, social relationships, economic conditions, education and politics, and movements for social justice and social change. The ultimate aim of those who engage in Social Development Studies is to help people, communities, and nations flourish.
