What it isA 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.An Honours BA lets you specialize in one or more subjects from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences while building a broad education across different fields. You choose your major — such as English, Anthropology, Computer Science, or Creative Writing — and take courses in that area alongside electives that let you explore other disciplines. This program suits people who want depth in a subject they care about but also value exposure to different ways of thinking and fields of knowledge.
