Welcome to Sociology, the discipline that will help you answer these and many other questions about the Canadian and global communities!
By taking Sociology courses at Kwantlen, your learning will be relevant to your life and help you understand important social issues affecting you and the lives of others in both the local and global communities. In other words, Sociology enhances your social and cultural literacy, and raises your awareness of issues of social justice, thus contributing to your personal and professional growth. And regardless of which career path you choose, a background in Sociology will provide you with the resources that help you on your way and connect you to your work.
The Sociology Department offers courses in core areas of the discipline as well as various specialized courses with a Canadian or a Global focus. Starting in January, 2011, we will offer an exciting new four year degree program: Bachelor of Arts, Major in Sociology. In addition, we offer a four year Bachelor of Arts, Minor in Sociology which students can complete as part of a Double Minor Program at Kwantlen, and a two year Associate of Arts Degree in Sociology. Sociology courses also make excellent electives to supplement programs in other disciplines.
