Sociology students may declare a concentration in one of the following areas. Three full-course equivalents are required in each concentration, and at least one full-course equivalent at the 400-level or above must be taken at the University of Calgary. Program concentration certificates are only awarded to students who have met the requirements for a BA or BA Honours in Sociology, and have also met the concentration requirements.
Students intending to major in Sociology should consult the undergraduate advisor regularly, and no later than the beginning of their third year if they wish to pursue a concentration.
