Program Information

School:Nipissing University
Faculty:Faculty of Arts and Science
Degree:Bachelor; Honours
Field of Study:Sociology
Description:Have you ever stopped to think about the society in which you live—how it’s organized, how its institutions began, and how being part of a society affects your life? And what about all the different societies around the world?

If you choose to study Sociology—the study of human societies—you’ll be entering into a fascinatingly broad discipline. You’ll explore the sociological influences of many topics like the family, workplace, education, medicine, demographics, and the criminal justice system. For a taste of that diversity, consider this: some of our professors study areas ranging from mental health issues in older offenders in the criminal justice system, to contraception and family planning in Iran, to Dokis First Nations, to palliative care!

This program is eligible to be paired with our concurrent education option for students looking to earn their BA and BEd.
