Program overview
Why choose this program
Sociology is the study of societies, institutions, and cultures. In this program, you will apply theoretical approaches to real-world cases and learn to use quantitative and qualitative research methods, including interviews, focus groups, discourse analysis, and surveys.
The School of Sociological and Anthropological Studiesoffers a distinctive and innovative approach to culture and society, in both French and English. Our teaching and research integrate both classical and cutting-edge approaches to the study of social reality. At the crossroads of North American and European traditions, the School provides a stimulating environment for students, faculty, and visiting scholars.
As sociology is at the forefront of global studies, you are encouraged to gain international experience to better understand how the local and the global are interconnected in practice.
