Further Education
Graduate Studies in Sociology and Anthropology
Our programme at the Mount provides you with a solid foundation in sociology and anthropology. Required courses in social theory, research methodologies and statistical analysis not only train you for a career in the public and private sector, but are vital to you should you decide you want to further your education by enrolling in a graduate degree programme. Unlike your undergraduate studies which generally focus on a broad range of topics and areas, graduate studies in sociology and anthropology allow you to specialize and fine tune your interests.

Becoming a Teacher
According to several Professional Associations, there is increasing interest in sociology and anthropology as teachable subjects in secondary schools. Normally included under a broader umbrella of "Social Science", many schools offer courses in Introductory Sociology/Anthropology, Race/Ethnic/Minority Relations, Sociology of Marriage and Family and Social Problems.
Although sociology and anthropology are considered teachable subjects in Nova Scotia, this is not the case in all areas. Please be sure to check with the jurisdictional authority where you are expecting to be credentialed.
Students who are interested in pursuing a Bachelors or Masters degree in education after completing a major or honours degree in SOAN are strongly advised to speak with both the SOAN department chair and the Mount's Faculty of Education.
