The Program
The Department offers a Minor, a Major and an Honours program in sociology.
First year courses provide an overview of the discipline and an introduction
to core concepts in sociology. The second year course is designed for
minor, major and Honours students to gain a firm grounding in the general
approaches taken in sociology and to promote the critical thinking, methodological,
and writing skills necessary for advanced work. Third-year courses emphasize
theoretical approaches, analytical methods, and their application to major
substantive areas of sociological interest. The areas covered reflect
the strengths and interests of the faculty, and are designed to give students
exposure to a broad range of material. Fourth-year courses allow students
to work with greater independence, and in more depth, on a range of topics.
