Social, Cultural, and Media Studies encompass four disciplines at UCFV: Anthropology, Latin American Studies, Media and Communication Studies, and Sociology.

Each of the disciplines makes a unique contribution to the understanding of global issues, social behaviour, social structure, and cultural diversity. Together, with other social sciences, these disciplines help to develop our understanding of contemporary social issues. In other words, they help us understand how and why we live as we do.

The Social, Cultural, and Media Studies department offers, as part of the Bachelor of Arts program, a major in sociology/anthropology; a major in sociology; an extended minor in Latin American studies; and minors in anthropology, Latin American studies, media and communication studies, and sociology. The requirements for these programs are listed under the individual discipline title. In addition, we offer Associate of Arts degrees in International and Development Studies (Latin America) and in Media and Communication Studies.
