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.	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.
