What it is	A sociology degree means studying how people form groups, institutions, and societies — why they act the way they do together, what shapes their beliefs and behaviours, and how power and inequality work in the real world. This four-year program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid experience in a workplace related to social research, policy, or community work. It suits people curious about how society works who want both classroom theory and hands-on practice in fields like research, social services, or communications.	You study human societies and cultures, both past and present, through fieldwork, artifacts, and observation. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning in real jobs related to anthropology or social science. It suits people curious about how different cultures work and who want practical experience alongside theory.	Anthropology is the study of human societies, cultures, and how people live across different times and places. You'll examine everything from family structures and belief systems to archaeology and language. This science-focused version emphasizes research methods and data analysis rather than pure humanities or field studies, suiting students who want rigorous training in how anthropologists actually investigate human behaviour.
