The specialist option has been the most beneficial aspect of my program ... the additional training in econometric theory has helped me progress along the career path I want to pursue. It has also given me an advantage in the job market.

What I like about Social Science is the balance of industry-specific technical know-how with career-critical soft skills: written and verbal communications, research and dissemination, time and conflict management, etc.

What I liked most was the diversity of experiences offered by the many different areas of sociology taught by the department. I was able to tailor my learning to the areas of sociology which were of the most interest to me, while still being confident that the core courses of the program would provide me with the theoretical and practical foundations of the discipline.
