Sociological investigation ranges from the analysis of small groups to
large social systems. Using a variety of methods and skills, sociologists
explore how our individual and collective ways of thinking, feeling and
acting are shaped by our social experience. Sociological perspectives
and methods are now an essential feature of modern culture, public debate
and policy in governmental, commercial, and non-profit organizations.
The basic sociological hypothesis that “the social matters” is
a guiding source of new intellectual and research agendas in disciplines
and professional schools throughout the university.
Sociological perspectives
and research skills can also provide helpful preparation for many careers,
including: government, politics, industry, education and journalism.
Medical, legal, and
environment fields report an increasing need for sociologists. Municipal
governments hire specialists in urban sociology, community relations, policy
and planning.
In private business sociologists work in management consulting firms and
public polling organizations, as well as in labour relations and human resources.
A professional career in sociology, however, requires training beyond
the undergraduate
level.
Much of the undergraduate and graduate teaching and research in the
department reflect areas of strength that include: crime, law and deviance,
gender and
family, health and mental health, law, immigration and ethnic relations,
labour markets and work, and political sociology. Additional strengths
follow from developing areas in the discipline, including globalization,
the life
course and aging, social policy, and the sociology of culture.
Some SOC courses are restricted (see Note 1 below). Other SOC courses
are not restricted but preference is given to students in Sociology programs.
Almost ALL 200, 300, and 400-level courses have prerequisites.
