Social/cultural studies

Minors

Social/cultural studies focuses on ways in which society and culture affect everyday life. Courses explore the rituals, beliefs and traditions of different cultures and societies. You'll also learn about the influence cultural and political shifts have on society, the influences of mass media, global issues and trends and the formation of group and personal identity.

Culture and society are probed in their present-day and historical forms from three distinct, yet complementary perspectives:

  • Anthropology
  • Folklore
  • Sociology
