Program Description

UWindsor’s Sociology, Anthropology and Criminology will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and preparation to observe, analyze and question the rapidly changing world around you. Our programs teach you how to understand, analyze and engage with situations, institutions and cultures that are different than you or that shape your own experiences. Our classes teach you the skills to question the world around with evidence-based arguments and theory. Through practical experience, we emphasize communication, research, strategic planning, organizing, and reasoned decision making. The ideas and approaches you learn here will provide you with the fundamental tools to achieve personal, academic, and professional success. This is a unique program in Canada, developed by worldclass researchers. It provides theoretical and practical insights into the changes that affect families and social responses to those changes. The program explores child studies, sexuality and sexual health (domestic and international), family history and change, marriage dynamics, women’s issues, changing gender roles, and aging. It combines courses from a variety of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, social work, history, and women’s and gender studies. In this program you will develop critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills, and study with approachable, world-class professors in a student-centered, welcoming and cosmopolitan environment.
