The department’s courses provide theoretical analytical understanding of the social and cultural forces affecting our lives and other societies leading to more effective society participation. 91ÅÝܽ sociologists and anthropologists conduct research and teach courses about Western industrial societies, Third World societies, and theoretical and comparative questions beyond national boundaries.
The department offers honors and majors in sociology and/or anthropology and minors in sociology and anthropology. Honors and major students may complete options such as an applied social research stream and a co-operative education program. Joint majors are available with archaeology, art and culture studies, Canadian studies, communication, criminology, Latin American studies, linguistics, and women’s studies. Joint honors are available with Canadian studies, Latin American studies and sociology and anthropology. The department also offers a certificate in ethnic and intercultural relations.
As well as intellectual rewards, undergraduate sociology and anthropology training provides invaluable background for careers in urban planning, journalism, law, public administration, welfare related professions, teaching, personnel management, health care fields, and international development projects.
Courses provide students specializing in other disciplines with social and cultural processes that complement their studies. Especially appropriate are SA 100, 101, 150, 201, 286, which require no prerequisites. Other courses dealing with important contemporary issues such as SA 203, 218 and 260 are open to students with one introductory course.
Course Selection
Consult departmental hand-outs available in the SA general office, as there are differing emphases in course outlines from term to term.
Normally, directed readings courses SA 496 and 497 are available only to SA major and honors students. Credit will be given for only one of these.
Some courses in other departments are relevant to certain areas of sociology and anthropology. Honors and majors in sociology and/or anthropology are urged to prepare themselves broadly by completing additional courses in other departments, after consultation with an advisor.
Many graduate schools require a reading knowledge of a language other than English. Those considering graduate studies should include an appropriate second language in their program.
To assist students to plan an interdisciplinary program, the following list of courses identify the three disciplines into which all sociology and anthropology courses are divided. For details about these courses, see “Sociology and Anthropology SA” on page 441 of the Course Catalogue.
Anthropology Courses
SA 101, 201, 245, 286, 301, 318, 323, 332, 352, 401, 402, 451, 472, 486, 496
Sociology Courses
SA 150, 231, 250, 260, 304, 321, 322, 325, 326, 327, 331, 333, 335, 350, 351, 353, 362, 416, 450, 497
Sociology and Anthropology Courses
An SA course can be counted as either sociology or anthropology.
SA 100, 203, 218, 255, 275, 300, 302, 303, 315, 316, 319, 320, 337, 340, 345, 355, 356, 357, 358, 360, 361, 363, 364, 365, 371, 386, 388, 392, 396, 400, 418, 420, 429, 430, 435, 447, 455, 460, 463, 498, 499

Certificate Programs
Certificate in Ethnic and Intercultural Relations
This interdisciplinary program is for those planning to work in multicultural or cross-cultural settings. In today’s increasingly interdependent world, the need for critical understanding of ethnicity and social justice has been acknowledged by educators, community workers and other professionals. In response, the program explores causes of unequal treatment, to compare social justice issues internationally, and to develop strategies for social change.
The program is for both general students and those interested in working with human service professionals (social workers, educators, police, counsellors, personnel managers, health practitioners or civil servants) who are required to interact effectively with people from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds to foster better understanding of the multi-ethnic society in which we live and work.
Day and evening courses are offered at the Burnaby campus and at 91ÅÝܽ Vancouver. Some are available through Distance Education.
Program Objectives
Program participation enables students to develop:
• critical perspectives on current debates about racism, equality and social justice
• a clearer understanding of the concept of diversity as it relates to hierarchical structuring of differences
• knowledge based on immigration, citizenship and civil rights
• skills that will prepare you for professional work or further academic study in the field.
Program Requirements
Students must successfully complete 30 units comprised of 12 required units, and the remaining chosen from two sets of specified electives. These courses, which include both lower and upper division courses, provide critical and interdisciplinary material.
