Cert in Sociology

The Certificate in Sociology at Université du Québec en Outaouais is a 30-credit, first-cycle program that introduces students to the core concepts, theories, and methods of sociology. Coursework connects everyday social experience to the broader economic, political, social, and cultural forces that shape it, giving students tools to analyze how societies are structured and how they change. The program is designed both as a standalone credential and as a foundation for further study, and it can lead into related bachelor's-level programs at the university. It suits students seeking an initial grounding in sociological analysis, career changers, and those testing interest in the discipline before committing to a full degree. Admission is offered across the fall, winter, and summer trimesters, and the program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis to fit working students' schedules.
