Departments, Schools and Interdisciplinary Programs
The Department is fantastic. I've really been lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of the Department for both my undergraduate and master's degrees because the undergraduate program had allowed me to gain a broader view of health care and social aging, while the master's programs had allowed me to focus on my topics of interest and develop a deeper understanding of those topics.
By completing a double major in the Faculty of Social Sciences, specifically in Religious Studies and Sociology, my worldview quickly expanded as I began learning about diverse communities, belief systems, theories, and perspectives.
Going into university I believed that you should have it all figured out but I quickly found out that it was much more beneficial to be open to multiple career paths.
