Overview

Bachelor of Arts, Major in Sociology

The Bachelor of Arts Major in Sociology provides students with critical, practical and transformative studies that aim to prepare them for life and work in a diverse and globalized world. 

It is a flexible and well-rounded program, offering academic rigour and a solid grounding in sociology theory and research methods and the study of societies in local and global contexts. 

Opportunities for engaging in applied, experiential and community-based learning are provided throughout the program at KPU.

Students may choose to gain a broad understanding of the discipline by taking courses in a wide range of sub-fields in sociology or streamline their programs by concentrating on particular subjects of interest to them, such as gender and sexuality, racialized and ethnic minority groups, Indigenous studies, media and cultural studies, education, global social problems and social justice. 

In their final year, students may opt to hone their research skills by taking courses in Canadian and global studies with a primary research component. 

Or they may choose to take one of the community services courses to gain practical work experience by volunteering in an organization within the local community or participating in a field school overseas in a developing nation.
