What it is	You study how society works: how people interact, form groups, and create institutions like families, workplaces, and governments. At Lakehead, you can focus on specific areas like social policy, heritage studies, or complementary medicines alongside core sociology. This suits people curious about why societies function the way they do and interested in understanding social problems and change.	Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, families, communities, and societies. You'll examine social patterns, inequality, culture, and institutions to understand why people behave the way they do and how social structures shape our lives. This program suits people curious about society and human behaviour who want to think critically about how the world works.	You study how crime happens, how the criminal justice system works, and why people break laws. The program draws on forensics, psychology, sociology, and law to examine crime from multiple angles rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students interested in understanding criminal behaviour and the justice system who want a broad foundation before deciding whether to pursue police work, victim services, legal studies, or social policy.
