SOAN 2120

Intended for those without a background in math or computer programming, this course equips students with practical skills to analyze data and investigate research questions in sociology, criminal justice, anthropology, and related fields, while better preparing them for careers in applied data analysis and the labour market more broadly. It covers a range of qualitative and quantitative methods, including research ethics, theory testing, and program evaluation. Students may also gain experience working with real-world data using both qualitative and quantitative software and use artificial intelligence to tackle complex research questions in ways previously inaccessible to social science students.
