Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (Honours)

University of Guelph

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers three types of courses: sociology courses with the prefix SOC anthropology courses with the prefix ANTH and departmental courses with the prefix SOAN. The departmental category of courses recognizes the fact that the disciplines of sociology and sociocultural anthropology have developed in tandem and it is possible to identify large areas of overlap and convergence in the work of practitioners both historically and in the present. Departmental courses include most of the core theory and methods courses as well as many elective courses. They contribute equally to the subject matter of sociology as well as the subject matter of sociocultural anthropology for purposes of the undergraduate programs of study in both disciplines.
