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?

A sociology degree from the University of Regina is for you, if you are interested in:
- Social life
