• Students in the Sociology program will examine issues that range from individual matters such as gender, identity and aging to social issues like social inequality, consumer culture and the social determinants of health. Studying these topics will help students to develop keen observation and analytical skills that will enhance their understanding of the impact of social structures on individual life chances. 
  • The teaching approach focuses on providing a solid classical and contemporary theoretical background while developing applied research skills. That means that students will gain theoretical knowledge while being offered hands-on research opportunities and experiential learning. 
  • The emphasis on data collection, research, and analysis will prepare students to do research in real-world situations. In our qualitative and quantitative research courses, students will learn valuable job-related skills like conducting interviews, focus groups, and survey research, as well as using specialized data analysis software like Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
