Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology (4 years)

The Sociology program at Laurentian University allows you to explore these topics and learn how to conduct meaningful research. The four-year program is offered full-time on campus. It can also be taken online as a concentration or minor. You can also further specialize and get a competitive edge by completing the Certificate in Social Research Methods or the Certificate in Family Life Studies and Human Sexuality at the same time as your degree. Sociology is the study of society, human behaviour and social interactions, and how social norms are created and maintained. Throughout the program, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills to critically understand and challenge social behaviour, societal norms, and how the social world operates. You’ll also learn how to use theory to frame and make sense of social problems. You can take a wide range of courses, with topics including children, youth, and the family, sexuality, disability, Indigenous Peoples, cultural marginality, social inequality, education and pedagogy, the environment, immigration, globalization, labour, pop culture, social movements, media, and the criminal justice system.
