Gain insight into diverse lifestyles while reflecting on your own through UFV's Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology. Combining these fields offers the perfect approach to understanding how social and cultural factors shape your views, prejudices, and outlook. During your first two years, you'll study core principles of sociology and anthropology. You'll contemplate human existence: examining hunter-gatherer communities or remote Himalayan villages casts fresh light on urban living. Analyzing struggles faced by Indigenous and developing nations fosters global awareness. In your final two years, you'll engage with advanced coursework. You'll analyze influential theoretical frameworks, debate modern concerns like globalization and societal transformation, and master quantitative and qualitative research methods. Your studies will cultivate an appreciation for Canada's multicultural heritage and Indigenous traditions. Upon graduation, you'll possess comprehensive societal knowledge, enhanced intercultural competencies, and valuable research, analytical, and communication abilities.
