Courses

There are two broad types of Sociology courses at UVic. Courses that are required within the Major, Minor and General programs provide a systematic grounding in the theoretical and methodological core of sociology as a social science. Other courses serve as electives, both for Sociology students and for students in other programs. These electives range quite broadly across diverse social issues, including:

• gender and sexuality;
• social inequality and social control;
• Canadian society and globalization;
• equity and diversity;
• work and leisure;
• health and aging;
• social problems and deviance;
• media and popular culture;
• ecology and development;
• social movements and politics;
• religion and ideology; and
• families and social change.

If any of these topics excite you, UVic Sociology may be the place for you.
