This Bachelor of Arts (Honours) program runs over four years, delivered in-class and online at the Downtown Oshawa campus, with course delivery format subject to change between formats. Students examine how technology shapes, and is shaped by, human social life, exploring topics such as digital inequality, data ethics, gender identity, racism and class, social conflict, governance and social control, and the social implications of the internet and technology. Through community projects and research opportunities, students apply sociological theory to real-world issues and build analytical and problem-solving skills. The program offers two specializations: Applied Sociology, focused on interdisciplinary approaches to real-world social problems, and Society, Technology and Human Values, focused on the ethical and historical relationship between technology and everyday life. It suits students aiming at careers in research, policy analysis, community development, 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, with an expected cut-off 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.
