Sociology

The Department of Sociology offers a B.A. program with a mission to provide a stimulating and cooperative learning atmosphere for a highly diverse group of students. The program seeks to foster a lifelong love of learning about the social, cultural, political, and economic institutions humans have created. The program’s goal is for students to think deeply about ways social structures and processes influence individuals’ lives and opportunities and how individuals can contribute to building more inclusive and satisfying communities and organizations. The program’s faculty members are dedicated to providing students with tools that will empower and prepare them to be active citizens in their families, communities, organizations, and workplaces, as well as to expand their understanding of community engagement to include national and global projects aimed at addressing larger social problems.

Students will increase their appreciation of the value of all human beings and their commitment to an inclusive and just society that addresses the needs of all groups of people. In addition, in acquiring a deep understanding of the structure of groups, organizations, and societies and human interaction within these contexts, students develop their capacity for more personally rewarding and socially responsible participation and leadership in their families, work, communities, and society as a whole.
