Sociology
Studies through the Department of Sociology enable students to analyze and understand social processes and social change as well as the manner in which societies deal with these processes and changes. At the graduate level the department's priorities are the study of ethnic relations, international development, political sociology and gender studies. In addition to taking compulsory courses in sociology, students may choose optional courses in sociology or anthropology as well as courses offered by other departments and faculties.
Career opportunities for sociology graduates include the following:
- program management in the areas of social intervention (non-governmental organizations, community development) and the public service (federal, provincial, regional or municipal);
- research for governmental, non-governmental or private organizations;
- personnel management and labour relations;
- teaching of social sciences (secondary, college or university); and
- information media and public relations.
The Department of Sociology offers, in English, baccalaureate degrees with concentration and with honours. In collaboration with other academic units, the department also offers a number of joint honours programs. Please consult the department for information about additional joint honours programs that are being developed.
The department offers a co-operative education program for honours students. The department also offers, in French, a masters degree in sociology. The rules of the University provide that, regardless of the language in which a course is taught, written work such as essays and examinations may be presented in English or French. Lectures and discussions in the classroom, however, are conducted in the language in which the course is taught.
The department encourages English-speaking students to benefit from the opportunity offered by the University and the department to participate in the French-speaking program. There are special provisions to facilitate this integration, notably sheltered courses which also strengthen the student's French-language skills. In this way, the Department of Sociology offers English-speaking students a unique opportunity among Canadian universities to obtain their degree in Sociology while at the same time developing their ability to work in French and broaden their intellectual and cultural horizons.

Co-operative Education Program |
|
Co-operative education seeks to relate classroom learning to its practical application in the workplace. co-op students alternate study terms on campus with four-month paid work terms. During the work terms, students are placed in jobs which should progressively involve more responsibilities and require more skills.

2. Admission into the Co-operative Education Program
To be admissible, students must meet the following conditions:
-Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status;
-registration in the honours program;
-completion of all first-year courses and normal course requirements for the fall session of the second year or the equivalent;
-cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 6.0 or more;
-submission of their application for admission to the central co-ordinating office before September 30 (see 5 below).
3. Requirements
Students in the co-operative education option must maintain a CGPA of 6.0 or more throughout the program. During each work term they must register in the Co-op Work Term Report course and submit a work term report at the end of the term. The course requirements for the co-op degree are those of the regular program plus the Co-op Work Term Report courses. The regulations governing the co-operative education programs are given in the Co-op Students Handbook and in the document entitled Regulations and Procedures Governing Co-operative Education Programs.
4. Advantages of Co-operative Education
The combination of work and study helps students both in their choice of courses and in their choice of career. Compared to other graduates, co-op graduates are often offered permanent positions involving more responsibilities and offering higher salaries. The salary earned during work terms helps to finance the students education.
5. Central Co-ordinating Office
The University of Ottawa has set up a central co-ordinating office to administer the work term component of all its co-operative education programs. The Office provides the necessary services to all participants in a co-operative education program, manages the placement process (secures employer participation, arranges interviews, places students, and other processes) and participates in monitoring work terms. A faculty member from each discipline is also involved in co-ordinating the co-operative education programs. For all questions concerning the program, please contact the office or the department co-ordinator. |
