The BA Major in the Sociology
program at Kwantlen is the only program of this kind in BC that involves a
practicum component, which provides students with the opportunity to volunteer
in a local or global context in a community-based setting, make employment
contacts, and apply knowledge students have learned in class in the field.
Students will develop a broad
understanding of the social, cultural, economic, and political relationships
between local, regional, and global communities, which are important and
desired qualifications sought by prospective employers in the public, private
and non-profit organizations. Any student can take our courses as Arts
electives, whether they're getting a Sociology degree or a major in something
else, or haven't figured that out yet.
Career Path
Many
students who major in sociology go on to take up careers in the areas of
community affairs and social work, government, policy,
international development, law and criminal justice, teaching and
education, business and communications, human resources, and even health and
medicine.
