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 children grow up and how society shapes their experiences, drawing on education and sociology. You'll examine childhood from multiple angles: schools, families, peer groups, and social systems. If you choose the co-op option, you'll alternate between classroom study and paid work terms with organizations serving young people, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people interested in education, child development, or social issues who want both academic understanding and workplace learning.	You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.
