Social dynamics impact each of our lives in powerful and sometimes hidden ways. If you are interested in learning more about the society in which you live, and how that compares to other groups or societies around the world, you might consider taking courses or pursuing a degree in sociology. Our small, intimate department offers a broad range of research and coursework to match your interests.
As a sociology major, you will study broad social processes — global dynamics, stratification, social movements, and more — and explore diverse institutions, from the law and medicine to family and religion.
Sociologists conduct research on almost every area of human behavior, at the macro and micro levels. Students are encouraged to conduct research, whether on their own, as part of a small team, or in collaboration with faculty.
As a sociology major, you will focus on critical thinking, analytic and communicative skills, and methodological training, making you well-equipped to pursue professional or graduate school or to enter the workforce.
There are currently no upcoming events scheduled, please check back at a later date.
