What you study	—	Creative Writing Journalism	Creative Writing
What it is	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 journalism — researching, writing, and editing news and stories for publication across different media — while also building skills in creative writing. This joint program with Centennial College combines theory at the university with hands-on training at the college, giving you both a bachelor's degree and a journalism diploma. It suits people who want practical newsroom experience alongside academic learning and who are ready for a structured two-institution pathway.	You study the craft of writing fiction, poetry, drama, and other creative forms, learning how to develop ideas, revise work, and understand what makes writing compelling. Unlike a general English program focused on analyzing literature, this one teaches you to create original work and get feedback from instructors and peers. It suits people who write regularly, enjoy imagining stories or experimenting with language, and want structured time to develop a portfolio.
