Sociology
University
This Bachelor-level Sociology program is freely available to anyone who wants to study it. Sociology asks us to look honestly at the structures, inequalities, and forces that shape our societies — questions that matter now as much as ever. In several places around the world, access to sociology education is being restricted or removed from public curricula. This program exists, in part, as a quiet response: a full curriculum, open to anyone with the curiosity to engage with it. Study at your own pace. No fees, no gatekeeping.
