Are you looking to pursue in-depth study in Sociology & Anthropology? If so, consider applying for entrance into our Honours Programme!

Many students looking towards graduate school will need to complete an honours degree. That said, even if you are not planning to apply to grad school, there are advantages to completing an honours degree:

  • Completing a thesis gives you the chance to research information on a topic that is of particular interest to you. Our students have completed theses in a variety of areas, as shown here.
  • Working closely with your thesis advisor, you will be more fully exposed to current research methods from faculty “in the know”
  • Students who maintain a GPA of 3.5 or better in the 10 required honours units and no grade below B- in all courses counted for the degree beyond the first five units taken will be awarded “First-class honours” at graduation. What a great accomplishment to add to employment and grad school applications!
