BA in Sociology (Honours) 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 sociology) to the evolution of social systems (macro-level sociology) and their impact on human behavior (meso-level sociology). As a discipline, sociology employs rigorous quantitative and qualitative approaches for gathering and interpreting data.

The field encompasses numerous specialties: disparities in society, racial and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality, healthcare systems, political activism, migration patterns, religious institutions, family dynamics, labor markets, organizational behavior, technological impacts, and theoretical frameworks.

Those curious about developing, executing, and interpreting social science studies might find sociology particularly engaging.

Our curriculum emphasizes equipping students with fundamental research skills in social science. Participants acquire expertise in creating, implementing, and evaluating both numerical and descriptive studies, while simultaneously gaining knowledge about sociological findings regarding societal structures.
