| What it is | Sociology is the study of how people interact, form groups, and build societies — looking at things like families, workplaces, inequality, and culture. This co-op option lets you take paid work terms with organizations studying social issues, giving you real-world experience alongside your classes. It suits people curious about why society works the way it does and who want to test that interest in actual jobs before deciding on a career path. | This program teaches you how people think, behave, and interact — the science behind psychology. You'll study psychological theories and research methods alongside related fields like sociology and social work, giving you a broad understanding of human behaviour and society. It suits students curious about why people do what they do and interested in careers involving counselling, research, or social services. | This program examines how gender and sex shape society, history, culture, and power across different fields like sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, it centres gender and feminist perspectives as the main lens for understanding social issues. It suits students interested in understanding inequality and social change, especially those drawn to activism, policy work, or community-based careers. |
