Overview

Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

The program in Sociology offers students a solid foundation in qualitative and quantitative research methods and gives them opportunities to conduct empirical research. Students also learn classical and contemporary social theories. 

They may choose to complete a placement with a community organization. They also have the option of obtaining a Certificate in Social Research Methods.

The sociology program at Laurentian University aims:

  • to enable students to question their taken-for-granted assumptions about how the social world operates;
  • to provide students with a strong background in a wide range of research techniques;
  • to encourage students to consider what responsibility and opportunities they may have to make the world a better place for themselves and others;
  • to equip students with the skills (critical thinking and research methods) they need to find meaningful work or pursue graduate studies upon graduating.

Program highlights:

  • three or four-year programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts;
  • also available: a multidisciplinary diploma or degree in Labour Studies (English only);
  • multidisciplinary knowledge;
  • critical thinking about contemporary issues from a sociological perspective;
  • knowledge of both qualitative and quantitative social research methods;
  • strong communication skills (written and spoken);
  • identification of social injustices and strategies for addressing them;
  • appreciation of diversity;
  • ethical standards.
