Sociology, the study of society, involves the systematic analysis of social institutions, social processes, and social interaction. Students with a degree in sociology have gone on to careers in academe; government policy-making; management; research and development; marketing; and the social services, among other areas. A degree in sociology is useful preparation for so many career paths as it provides students with valuable and transferable skills such as the ability to think critically, analyze, and problem solve.
Students who have declared or are considering declaring sociology as a minor, major, double major, or honours must consult with the Department of Sociology Director of Undergraduate Studies for program approval.
