UBC’s Sociology department now has a three-credit, no prerequisite required course called "COVID-19 & Society."

It's the first class of its kind in Canada and it's already extremely popular.
UBC's Katherine Lyon shared with Narcity that since both summer and winter offerings are full, they will offer the class again, possibly with more sections, if there's a demand for it.
According to the university, this unique course will "help students make connections between their own experience of COVID-19 and larger social patterns occurring locally and globally."
