Bachelor of Arts - Sociology - Criminology, Law, and Social Policy

Program Summary

The Department of Sociology provides students with theoretical and methodological tools and substantive insights which can assist them in understanding social life, social organization, and action. The program is designed to provide students with a broad intellectual and sociological background which will help prepare them for a variety of careers and for advanced study at graduate school. Through required courses and study concentrations, students are given substantial flexibility in meeting individual intellectual pursuits and preparation for satisfying employment after university. They offer a minor, major, or honours in Sociology as well as three programs that allow students to concentrate their studies (see down). Students are encouraged to participate in the Experiential Learning program which is linked to their academic field of studies and involves course work and placement in an organization.
