| 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. | You study how religion, moral philosophy, and social justice intersect with modern society, drawing on theology, psychology, sociology, and journalism. Unlike a straight theology program, this combines faith-based thinking with social science and applied communication skills to understand real-world ethical issues. It suits students interested in exploring belief systems and their role in addressing social problems, whether through advocacy, community work, or writing. | You study education and arts together while you train to teach French at the middle and high school level. Unlike a straight education degree, this program embeds your subject-area coursework in arts and social sciences alongside your teaching methods training, so you graduate ready to teach French plus another subject. It suits people who want to teach languages and are comfortable studying education theory and practice from day one. |
