Program details
Overview
This specialization is offered within the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology, Technology and Innovation program, over four years, delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus. Students explore sociological concepts and methodologies, gaining insight into human behaviour, social structures and institutions through an interdisciplinary approach, building on the core program's focus on how technology shapes, and is shaped by, society. The specialization emphasizes the practical application of sociological insights across domains such as community development, social work, public policy and organizational management, with students completing research projects that develop critical thinking, research and communication skills for addressing complex, real-world social issues and advocating for fairness and equity. It suits students aiming at careers in community development, social work, public policy analysis, or further graduate study in sociology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University requires current Ontario secondary school students to complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M courses, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: the specific average required varies from year to year based on school marks, subject distribution and performance in relevant subjects; last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimum course requirements does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A. The program begins each September.
