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.	A Bachelor of Arts is a four-year degree where you study humanities and social sciences — subjects like English, history, psychology, anthropology, or environmental studies. You choose a major (or sometimes two) and take courses across different disciplines to build broad knowledge alongside deep expertise in your chosen area. This program suits students curious about understanding human culture, society, language, and ideas, who want flexibility to explore different fields before specializing.
