The Department of Sociology offers students a unique opportunity to cultivate their intellectual curiosity and social awareness, and to develop their capacity to engage in a critical, informed and self-reflective way with the key social institutions, relationships and processes shaping the world in which they live.

Sociology, by its very nature, encompasses all spheres of social life. Accordingly, it allows students to delve into a rich variety of fascinating topics of the greatest historical and contemporary relevance: animal studies; gender; sexism; family life; sexuality; race and racism; cultural identity; globalization; imperialism and colonialism; immigration; poverty and class inequality; work and the economy; education; religion; the environment; crime, prisons and social repression and social movements. Underlying the wide range of issues taken up in the department's teaching and research activities is a shared commitment to analyzing inequality, oppression, exploitation in all of their varied manifestations and exploring the forms of resistance and struggle to which they give rise.

Students of Sociology develop useful skills that they can carry forward into many areas of their future lives. They learn the basic principles and techniques of social research and are given the opportunity to develop more advanced skills in both qualitative and statistical analysis. They expand their critical thinking, theory-construction and problem-solving abilities and sharpen their skills in oral and written expression. Finally, by learning to develop and to support their ideas while remaining responsive to contending opinions and perspectives, they greatly enhance their ability to work constructively with others, to think outside the narrow confines of ingrained cultural prejudices and habitual forms of "common sense," and to respond creatively and proactively to a wide range of personal, social and political challenges.

Students declaring a major in Sociology can pursue one of four programs: an Honours BA program either in Sociology alone or as a combined major and a Pass BA program either (single or combined). In addition to combined major programs in other academic departments, Sociology students may co-major in interdisciplinary Centres such as Canadian Studies, Labour Studies or Women's Studies.

Students with a minimum 70 percent Sociology average may declare the BA Honours or combined Honours program at any time. The Honours program provides students with the opportunity for a more intensive examination of issues in the field. Request for admission to Year 4 (Honours) is by application through a Year 4 Studies form (available on line at brocku.ca/webfm_send/1377 or the Registrar's Office) and requires a minimum 70 percent major average and completion of a minimum 13.5 overall credits. Submit honours applications to the Department Administrator.

Students declaring a major in Sociology (Honours, Pass) are responsible for ensuring that their programs satisfy the departmental requirements. The Department Administrator and Assistant Adviser provide academic advising to Sociology students upon request. To declare a major in Sociology, normally at the completion of SOCI 1F90, a Declare or Change Majors form must be completed (available on-line at brocku.ca/webfm_send/1400 or at the Office of the Registrar) and submitted for approval to the Department Administrator or Assistant Adviser by June 1 and a minimum 65 percent Sociology average is required. Declarations are approved by the Department Administrator or Assistant Adviser.

Sociology and Labour Studies-George Brown College
This program involves courses offered through Brock and George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines courses and training in applied labour studies settings at George Brown College with a degree in Sociology and Labour Studies at Brock. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career in a wide variety of areas including unionized environments, occupational health and safety, politics, or human resources. The program allows students to gain both solid applied skills in these areas, and a strong theoretical knowledge about a variety of these topics. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will be granted both a degree from Brock, and two certificates from George Brown College 1) a certificate in Contemporary Labour Perspectives from the George Brown School of Labour, and 2) a Post-Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management. Gaining both a degree and these certificates would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and George Brown program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Enrolment is limited.
