Program details
Overview
The Sociology program at Algoma University leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) over four years, examining how humans form groups and interact within social contexts. The curriculum covers contemporary issues such as media depictions of gender, environmental movements, health policy, law and social justice, and Indigenous rights, and trains students in research methods including surveys, interviews, observational studies, and focus groups to study social movements, race, diversity, gender, and sexuality. In the required Research and Critical Analysis course, students conduct original background research, analyze their findings, and present the results at a public defense, serving as an honours-thesis capstone. The program offers Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects connecting students with peers internationally, and places strong emphasis on developing written communication, oral presentation, and research skills through experience maps linking theory to real-world application.
