Program details
Overview
Sociology at Mount Allison University is offered as a Bachelor of Arts major (60 credits) or honours (66 credits), with a minor (24 credits) available in any degree. The program looks at how people interact with one another within particular social, cultural, and historical settings, considering how society is organized and how it might become more just and equitable. Topics addressed include social class and inequality, race, gender relations, youth culture, work, media and popular culture, health, education, citizenship, social policy, nonprofit organizations, and criminology. The program emphasizes experiential learning, with students applying classroom concepts in real-world settings such as developing business plans for community services and taking part in service-learning workshops. It suits students interested in understanding social structures and inequality and in putting that understanding into practice. Graduates pursue careers such as community development officer, social worker, social policy analyst, market research analyst, human resources specialist, and employment counsellor, and the program also prepares students for graduate study in social work and related fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Sociology page states no admission requirements of its own and defers to Mount Allison's general admissions process (admission-requirements page). Mount Allison reviews the whole applicant: decisions weigh academic record, leadership, commitment, and potential for growth, varying by degree, education level, and country; routes are published for high-school, transfer, CEGEP, IB, Cambridge GCE, mature (22+), and home-schooled applicants. As English is the language of instruction, applicants may be asked to prove proficiency with one of: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 per section (before Jan. 21, 2026) or the redesigned TOEFL at 4.5 overall, 4.5 Writing, 4.0 elsewhere (from that date); PTE Academic 60 (no score below 51); CAEL CE 70 (no part below 60); Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 (no band below 169); or Duolingo 110 (Comprehension 125, Literacy 120, Conversation 110, Production 95). Three years of English-medium Canadian secondary schooling or 30+ post-secondary English credit hours can also satisfy this; applicants just short of it may get conditional admission via the English Summer Pathway Program. It is offered as a Bachelor of Arts major or honours.
