Sociology (BA (Hons))
Is It for You?
Sociology explores society and the promise of, and resistance to, social change. Studying the essential themes of power, inequalities, and movements for equity and social justice will help you develop a critical understanding of social media, cities and their challenges, immigration and belonging, and Indigenous perspectives. Experiential learning highlights include international and community engagement projects, advanced research training, a capstone bridging course and an optional thesis. You’ll enter your career with specialized knowledge of how we shape society and how it structures our lives.
This is one of 10 bachelor of arts programs that share a one-year foundation.
Double major options available after first year: Sociology and Criminology, Sociology and History, Sociology and Politics and Governance.
