Sociology
The Sociology major prepares students for undertaking graduate work in sociology, as well as entry level positions in education, business, government, public service, social research, teaching and social justice. It offers opportunities to learn about interpersonal behavior as well as the systemic functioning of groups, organizations, social institutions, and society. In a rapidly changing world, sociology remains important in addressing the challenges of society and the need for deeper understanding of the place of the individual in society. Students will be exposed to applied skills relevant to social research, social justice, and practical application of sociological theory and substantive sociological content. In addition, students interested in specific careers are invited to focus their sociology electives within concentrated areas of study. Student advisement plays an important part in enhancing the academic experience, and students are urged to consult with departmental advisors about courses, curriculum, and areas of academic and professional interest. Our department also offers a unique Master's degree Program in Sociology and Social Justice, which is open to qualified graduates.
*Sociology is also a content area for Early Childhood Education only.
