About Sociology
About Sociology
Sociology is commonly defined as the scientific study of society. It offers the student an educational experience which is both intellectually rewarding and practically useful as a preparation for future career opportunities. It provides the student with the theoretical and analytical tools to better understand the complex social forces which affect our lives, contributing in this way to personal enrichment and more effective citizenship. It is also valuable preparation for advanced study in the social sciences, as well as for careers in management; education; law; medicine and health-related areas; social work; and communications in both the public sector and private industry.
The Department offers a Minor Concentration, a Major Concentration, an Honours, and a Joint Honours program in Sociology. Although a student from outside the Department may take courses in the Department without having taken SOCI 210 Sociological Perspectives (except where noted otherwise), the course is recommended. The purpose of the Minor Concentration is to give the student a basic understanding of the field of Sociology, while the Major Concentration will provide a more comprehensive coverage of the field. The purpose of the Honours program is to permit a student to study the field in depth, and to do an Honours Project鈥攁 research paper under the supervision of a faculty member鈥攚hose topic and supervisor are chosen by mutual agreement between the student and the professor.
