Program Description
The Sociology Department focuses on providing students with the tools necessary to analyze the complexities of human societies and to gain a greater understanding of themselves and others as members of social groups. Instructors expose students to the methodological, theoretical, and conceptual foundations of the discipline to cultivate critical inquiry skills. Using a social justice lens, courses in the department invite students to question and address social problems and inequalities while also broadening student's knowledge of the diversity of peoples and cultures in our world.
