BA in Sociology in Halifax Canada | Saint Mary's University

Sociology aims to scientifically comprehend the functioning of society. Researchers in this field investigate diverse topics, ranging from individual identity formation (micro-level analysis) to the evolution of social systems (macro-level analysis) and their impact on human behavior (meso-level analysis). As a discipline, sociology employs rigorous quantitative and qualitative approaches for gathering and interpreting data.

The field encompasses numerous specializations: disparities in society, racial and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality research, medical sociology, political sociology, migration studies, religious sociology, family dynamics, labor economics, organizational behavior, technology's social impact, and theoretical frameworks.

Those curious about developing, executing, and interpreting social science investigations might find sociology appealing.

Our curriculum emphasizes equipping students with fundamental research skills in social science. The program teaches research design, implementation, and analysis techniques for both numerical and descriptive studies, alongside exploring key sociological findings about societal structures.
