Programme Overview
Sociology is the scientific study of societies, social interaction, the structures and relationships that are formed by social groups and individuals and the consequences these have for the stability and change in societies. The goal of the sociology programme is to train and develop a new generation of sociologists with relevant skills that will enable them adapt to the changing social and developmental needs of the Ghanaian society and the continent at large. The BA Sociology programme is a four-year programme that ultimately challenges the student to go beyond daily appearances and to appreciate the critical issues that shape modern society and social development. The programme takes at least four (4) years to complete.
