Undergraduate Program
Sociology classes are unique, interesting, and fun.
Sociology is the study of social life. Sociologists investigate the structure of
groups, organizations, and societies. Because all human behavior is social, our
subject matter ranges from intimate families to hostile mobs; from crime to religion;
from the divisions of race, gender, and social class to the shared beliefs of a
common culture; from the sociology of work to the sociology of emotions.
The Sociology major and minor are designed to provide students with a broad liberal arts education
and a greater understanding of the social systems and processes that bear upon everyday
lives. Opportunities for students with Bachelor's degrees in Sociology are quite
varied. Some go on to work for human service agencies; others work in personnel,
criminal justice, and urban planning; others enter graduate programs in sociology,
education, law, medicine, or social work.
