The small size of the Sociology – Gender, Diversity and Equity Studies programme at Bishop’s University the dedication of the faculty, allow us to provide personal attention to students and extensive access to faculty.

Through required courses and study concentrations, students are given substantial flexibility in meeting individual intellectual pursuits and preparation for satisfying employment after university.
