BA/BS in Sociology

The sociology major provides a grounding in social structures, behavior, and social issues through theory, research methods, and the study of social dynamics. Experienced faculty supervise applied learning, including undergraduate research on pressing community questions. Graduates become social workers, counselors, teachers, organizers, and data analysts, with paths into social services, law, and healthcare. The program belongs to the Department of History, Sociology, and Anthropology. The program page links to the academic catalog and degree requirements, where applicants can check required courses, credit totals, and prerequisites before applying.
