Undergraduate study with honours, major, or minor in sociology balances theory with hands-on experience using qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
A degree in sociology can help prepare you for so many career paths as it helps build valuable and transferable skills such as the ability to think critically, analyze and problem solve.
Our graduate programs are research-intensive, emphasizing social theory, critical thinking, fieldwork, professional writing and high-level analysis. Many of our master’s and doctoral students work with faculty members on their funded research programs.
Our graduates go on to work in academia, public policy, management, social services, social research, law, among other areas.
