Honours BA in Sociology (Specialist) - 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 persistence and transformation of gender, class, and racial inequalities, 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 discipline develops comprehensive theories about diverse human behaviors. Sociologists approach these inquiries through two primary methods. Initially, they collect large-scale data to identify behavioral trends and analyze them statistically. Alternatively, they conduct detailed interviews and observations, interpreting findings through qualitative analysis. The Department provides Specialist, Major, and Minor programs in Sociology, along with Specialist and Major programs in Criminology, Law and Society.
Students can choose from numerous specialization areas within their Specialist or Major programs. Department advisors can also suggest unique course combinations focusing on Canadian society, interpersonal dynamics, or research methodologies. A Sociology degree opens career paths in social policy, government, education, healthcare, market research, community services, NGOs, business sectors, criminal justice, labor relations, program evaluation, and environmental studies.
