Sociology

The Department of Sociology offers degrees at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. There is a two-fold thrust in the Sociology program: the study of general sociological knowledge and the development of research skills. The application of social theories to various institutional areas, ranging from small groups to large organizations, is a major goal. Both the undergraduate and graduate programs have a strong research emphasis that includes developing research designs, collecting data, analyzing those data through student use of the computer, and presenting research results at professional meetings. Students are prepared for a variety of post-graduate situations: professional schools (law, medicine, social work), graduate education in the social sciences, and work in public, nonprofit, and corporate sectors.
