| What it is | A Sociology BA is the study of how people live together in groups and societies — looking at culture, inequality, institutions, and social change through research and theory. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms in relevant organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. This program suits people curious about understanding society and wanting to test what they've learned in actual workplaces before graduating. | You study how gender, feminism, and power shape society by combining feminist theory with sociology's analysis of social structures and inequality. Unlike a straight sociology program, you examine gender as a central lens across all topics — from work and family to politics and culture. This suits students interested in understanding social change, inequality, and how identity intersects with institutions, who want classroom learning paired with work experience. | This program combines the study of how science and technology shape society and how social forces influence technological development. Unlike a pure science or pure sociology program, you examine the relationship between the two — asking questions like how social values affect which technologies get built, or how new technology changes the way people live. It suits students curious about the real-world impact of innovation who want social science thinking alongside technical understanding. | You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best. |
