Bachelor of Arts, Major in Sociology

Thompson Rivers University

Sociology is the study of human society. This program will give students extensive knowledge of the key social factors affecting human behaviour and also develop your skills in designing and evaluating research. Some graduates go into professional programs, including TRU's education or social work departments. Others find that a sociology degree provides entry to occupations in management, government and human services agencies. Sociology, the study of human society, is a broadly based liberal arts and research discipline - one of the most diversified, interesting, and practical disciplines there is. Sociologists are devoted to the study of social groups and processes, using applied logic in combination with empirical research to ascertain ''what is'' and ''what can be.'' We believe that it is the task of sociologists to conduct critical public debate about social institutions. We seek to contribute to that debate and equip our students with the skills to do so too.
