We study groups...
In Sociology, we study groups; the variety of ways people behave in groups and how an individual’s attitude and actions are influenced by them.
Program highlights
- Students interested in contributing to social change have an opportunity to participate in the Public Policy Learning Community and coordinate sociology courses with offerings in economics and political science.
- Multiculturalism is important to our program. More than half our faculty members have directed an international study program. The department offers courses in world populations, race and ethnicity, urban studies and anthropology.
- Experiential learning is valued. In addition to internships, interested students can participate in on-going faculty research or design and implement their own independent research project for credit.
