ANTHROPOLOGY
Anthropology is the comparative study of cultures, societies and human diversity across space and time. Uniquely in academia, anthropology integrates approaches across the social and natural sciences and humanities to understand the human condition. Anthropologists emphasize human variation and the situated and subjective ways humans create meaning, value and engage in social within wider technological, economic and political forces. A background in Anthropology is excellent preparation for careers in public service, non-government organizations, international agencies, the education sector, and museums, in Canada – one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world – and beyond. Anthropology prepares you for the world.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of societies, their institutions, dynamics, processes, social relations, social practices, social actors, power, hierarchies, conflicts, symbolic systems, social roles, norms, values, and types of regulation. Sociologists aim to comprehensively describe, understand, and explain how various facets of social life, such as family relations, groups, collective identity, social movements, organizations, rules (including laws), religion, work, ethnicity, sexuality, and others, emerge, stabilize, endure, interact with each other, and change. Sociology has been, and remains, at the forefront of understanding human affairs. A degree in sociology provides rigorous training in research and communication skills, methodology, analytical tools, and theory - all highly valued by employers - combined with detailed learning about specific social institutions.

CRIMINOLOGY
Our popular, well-established, and widely respected criminology program focuses on studies of criminal activity, illegalities, legal issues, policing, regulation, the criminal justice system, surveillance, and security as major factors in society. The program is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge for students intending a lifelong involvement in the areas of criminology and criminal justice, particularly in research, government work, and the criminal justice system.
Drawing on sociological foundations, criminologists focus on wrong-doings, harms, and forms of victimization, investigating the conditions in which they arise, their causes, and consequences in light of debates and social conflicts about prevention and justice. An Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminology provides rigorous training in central research and communication skills, methodology, analytical tools, and theory, combined with detailed learning about specific dimensions of crime. This degree opens the door to many career tracks including (but not limited to) police service, law (with additional studies), public and private security agencies, border services, intelligence, and immigration.
