| 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. | Gender and Social Justice is an undergraduate program in which you examine how gender shapes society and explore social inequality through sociology and policy study. Unlike a straight sociology degree, this program focuses specifically on gender as a lens for understanding power, institutions, and social change. It suits students interested in how systems work and who want to think critically about fairness and social structures. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. |
