| 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. | You study how people communicate and how society works, combining media, journalism, and social analysis. Unlike a program focused only on communication or only on sociology, this joint degree lets you examine both how messages spread through society and why societies function the way they do. It suits students interested in understanding culture, institutions, and human behaviour through multiple lenses, and who want practical work experience alongside their studies. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
