SOCIOLOGY

Sociology Major (B.A. or B.S.)

Sociology is the study of complex and changing social relationships. The sociology program prepares students to (1) analyze human relationships from a sociological perspective, (2) develop the theoretical, technical, and statistical skills necessary for asking and answering sociological questions, and (3) enhance awareness of relationships between personal events and the structure of societies. The program is designed to prepare students for admission into graduate programs, careers in higher education or research, and/or entry-level practice positions within a variety of private and public settings where knowledge of human relationships and methodological skills is helpful.
