Sociology, Bachelor of Science

The Sociology BA/BS program prepares students to develop critical and analytical skills to examine human society, emphasizing how culture and social structure combine to shape people’s attitudes, beliefs, and values. 

The sociology program helps students better understand social inequalities and their implications for social justice. Students will not only learn to understand social issues and social organization but also to resolve social problems and improve social conditions for communities. Students will develop the tools and skills to be able to take an active role in creating, managing, and growing groups and organizations.

Students in the Sociology Program can specialize in their field of interest through a concentration area in Community Engagement. 

Sociology graduates will have the skills to conduct research, analyze information and think critically about relationship building and community interactions.

The sociology program prepares students for various career paths such as education, research, government, business, human services, community organizing, program development, policy analysis, youth services, criminal justice, crime and violence prevention, and victim services.
