BA, BS in Sociology

USA

What will I learn?

When policies and practices cause harm in our communities, sociologists seek to understand and change the social conditions that cause it – especially for communities of color, immigrants, poor families, women, youth, and LGBTQ+ individuals. As a sociology major, you can help make this change, too.

Through our hands-on curriculum, you’ll study how people relate to one another and why they thrive—or struggle—under different societal conditions. By learning to ask important questions about human behavior, social inequalities, and institutional structures, you’ll develop the skills to solve problems, embrace diversity, and think globally.

Students in our program will:

Use classical and contemporary sociological principles and theories to examine human interactions and society

Develop skills to work toward social justice and address social problems, including crime, discrimination, and poverty

Learn and apply different sociological research methodologies

Read and analyze research articles, becoming active consumers of social information and data

Strengthen communication skills

Experience is Everything

You won’t just study your major—you’ll experience it through hands-on learning opportunities built into our sociology curriculum.
