Honours BA in Sociology - Mississauga in Mississauga Canada | University of Toronto

Sociologists examine family dynamics, individual development throughout life stages, the creation and evolution of social norms and laws, the origins and transformations of gender, class, and racial disparities, the functioning of urban, national, and global systems, power dynamics and resistance movements, communication patterns among individuals and organizations, and the connection between cultural meanings and social structures. This field develops comprehensive theories about diverse human behaviors. Researchers approach these topics through two primary methods: analyzing large-scale behavioral patterns using statistical techniques, and conducting detailed interviews and observations with qualitative analysis. The Department provides Specialist, Major, and Minor options in Sociology, along with Specialist and Major programs in Criminology, Law and Society. Students can focus on specific interest areas within their programs or work with department advisors to create customized course combinations, such as those concentrating on Canadian society, interpersonal dynamics, or research methodologies.
Graduates with a Sociology degree pursue careers across various sectors including policy development, public administration, education, healthcare, market research, community services, NGOs, business and non-profit organizations, criminal justice, labor relations, program evaluation, and environmental studies.
