Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology

Why do people stop at red lights even when no one is around? Why do people often act "against their interests?" And why is society getting more unequal yet it’s more accepting of diversity? Do you think about how society affects your life and how you might make things better? Find out with a sociology degree. A sociology degree from the University of Regina is for you, if you are interested in:

• Social life
• Social problems
• Social change
• Social causes and consequences of human action

Study the pressing issues of our time. Develop an understanding of society and its problems by studying the intersection of topics like these:

• Environment
• Development
• Agriculture and food systems
• Education
• Sports
• Health
