Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program, offered as a Major within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, provides a broad foundation in the study of groups and group life. Housed in the Department of Sociology within the Faculty of Social Sciences, the program develops students' theoretical and methodological grounding in social-scientific analysis, covering topics such as identity, social institutions, and group dynamics. It can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms. The program prepares graduates for a wide range of careers and for graduate study in fields including applied social research, cultural analysis and social theory, and disability studies. Bishop's also offers related graduate certificates in areas such as applied social science research, future studies, and social service for students who wish to continue study after their degree.
