Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies

Sociology is an exciting and dynamic field of study that analyzes and accounts for key moments in our personal lives, our communities and our world. Discover what makes us tick as individuals and as a society by exploring social relations, interactions and various power dynamics. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures. You’ll also hone your networks and connect with professionals in the field through a unique array of community projects. Though members of the Department of Sociology teach a wide range of materials and perspectives on society in general and on Canadian society in particular, we take social criticism through theory development, research and teaching to be an essential element of our vocation.

Sociology majors learn to study people and the roles they play in society, both as individuals and in groups. There is a wide range of topics in Sociology, just to name a few: Race and Racism, Crime and Social Regulation, Social Policy, Work and Labour, Gender, Canadian Society, Immigration, Education, Health and Health Care, Social Organizations, Culture, Poverty, Social Interaction, Socialization, Criminal Justice Systems.

For specific program requirements, please consult the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies Programs of Study section.
