Sociology

Brandon University’s Department of Sociology prepares you for active participation in the world around you, by involving you in study, discovery, accumulation, and dissemination of knowledge about societal and community processes, issues, problems and needs. You will learn about how and why human groups are as they are, how sociologists conduct research and how they share their ideas with others and influence the communities we live in. Sociology students at Brandon University have an opportunity to study areas such as criminology, social problems, family life, rural and community development, deviant behaviour, gender relations, social psychology, medicine and the sociology of health and illness.
