Sociology

About this programme

Sociology is the study of human social life, focusing on developing an understanding of changes in social structure and human interaction on an individual, societal and global level. Students in Sociology learn to analyze social issues and think critically about the world around them. A degree in Sociology prepares students for studies in areas such as criminology, journalism, law, medicine, nursing, planning and social work. Many students go on to do graduate work. Graduates of Sociology, Indigenous Justice and Criminology (IJC) , and/or the Certificate in Criminology and Addictions (CCAP) can apply to work in a variety of fields, including criminal justice, community based and government agencies, social science research, or use these programs as a first degree toward graduate work or other professional schools such as law or medicine.
