What it is	Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups, communities, and societies — how social structures work, why people behave as they do in groups, and what causes social change. This program emphasizes law and criminology, so you'll focus on crime, justice systems, and how laws shape society rather than taking a broader sociology approach. It suits people curious about why crime happens, how the justice system works, and social issues behind criminal behaviour.	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 how crime happens, why people commit crimes, and how the justice system responds through law, sociology, and social work. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, giving you real experience in courts, police services, or community justice organizations alongside your classroom learning. It suits people curious about crime and the legal system who want both theory and hands-on workplace experience before graduating.	A four-year program that examines gender roles, power dynamics, and women's experiences across history, culture, and society using theories from sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, this program centres feminist analysis as its core lens and often includes applied work placements through co-op. It suits students interested in understanding social inequality, policy, or community work through a gender-focused framework.
