Bachelor of Social Science in Sociology

Program Overview

Western’s Bachelor of Social Science allows you to choose your own majors and minors, including Child and Community, Geography and Urban Studies, Heritage and Tourism, Peace & Development Studies, Sociology, Disability Studies, and Criminology & Criminal Justice. You will gain a greater understanding of the social world in three ways: through social theory, social research and the applications of these ideas and knowledge to practice through social engagement. Emerge with a wide base for understanding issues in the complex, culturally diverse and ever-changing social environment of the 21st century. Create a degree as specialised or as broad as your desired career path.

Major: Sociology
The major in Sociology provides students with a thorough training in the methods, theories and select leading areas of contemporary sociology. As well as units in which methods and theories are taught, through the social science core, students enrolled in the Sociology major will have opportunities to study a number of particular themes from a sociological perspective, including inequalities, deviance, identities, gender, religion, medicine and health care, ethnicity and migration, and the family, among other possibilities.

A Bachelor of Social Science (BSS) with a major in Sociology will prepare students for both employment and a research higher degree.
