Marketing Specialist
Sociology 2008
Communication Studies 2008
Sociology allowed me to view the world through new lens. It allowed me to question ideologies, push for deeper understanding and insight into areas I don't understand, and be open to understanding the different societies, groups, cultures and general diversity of the world we live in.
The sociology program pushes students to think outside the box, and really try to apply the theories and knowledge into real life situations. It has helped me gain a new tool that I have applied constantly into many of my life and work experiences after graduating from the program.
