| 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. | This program prepares you to work directly with children and young people who face challenges like trauma, behavioural issues, or family instability. You study psychology and sociology to understand how people develop and what shapes their choices, then learn hands-on skills for supporting and guiding kids in schools, group homes, hospitals, and community agencies. It suits people who want practical caregiving work rather than classroom teaching or clinical therapy. | This program combines the study of how children and young people develop psychologically and socially with broader sociology, so you learn both individual psychology and the family, school, and community systems that shape them. Unlike a straight psychology program, it emphasizes youth as a specific age group and their relationships within society. It suits people drawn to understanding young people's behaviour and thinking, and who want grounding in both psychological science and social context. |
