We offer minor, major, and honours programs in sociology, and certificate, minor, and major programs in criminology.

Studying sociology and/or criminology provides you with critical thinking skills, hands-on research experience, and a deeper understanding of the social forces that shape our world. In our undergraduate programs, you’ll apply sociological and criminological theories to real-world data, and develop practical skills in qualitative, quantitative, and computational research methods. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in our department’s long-standing tradition of community-engaged and applied research in Newfoundland & Labrador and the broader North Atlantic.

It’s best to start planning your degree early. We recommend reaching out to the Undergraduate Coordinators for Sociology and Criminology for questions about course selection and undergraduate program requirements, and to the HSS Academic Advisors and Office of the Registrar for more general questions about your degree.
