25. Social 30-1 vs 30-2
Many students are asking if they need to take Social
30-1 in grade 12 if they have enough grade 12
math and science courses to get into university.
All universities follow a liberal arts philosophy, so
even if you are planning to get a Bachelor of Science,
you still have to take Arts options.
Social 30-1 can prepare you to have more success in
these Arts options.
