Sociology

New graduate hugs a relative with diploma in hand

Sociology attempts, through systematic research methodologies, to explain and predict small- and large-scale social interactions and social organizations, from individual interactions in everyday life to collective behavior, population movement, and the highly organized behavior of business corporations, national and international organizations.

The Sociology program is designed to develop a special insight and a broad understanding of, and a critical concern for, the operation and the problems of human society including racism, sexism, classism, homophobia and environmental destruction. An additional goal is to foster competencies in accurate observation, analysis and evaluation of social interaction and social organization. A B.A. in Sociology prepares students to pursue graduate study in sociology and in other related areas such as business, law, public policy, urban planning and social work. It also develops valuable skills in data analysis, social trend research, program evaluation and organizational management that are highly marketable for entry positions and occupational advancement in business and government agencies.
