The department offers a BA in Sociology, with the option of choosing one of three concentrations: Education, City Community & Region, or Global Studies. We also offer a minor in sociology. Students have opportunities to apply theory to practice by engaging in collaborative research with faculty members and/or participating in internships.

The study of sociology is excellent preparation for employment in public and private sector social agencies, government agencies such as health and human services, and private industry. It also provides a useful background for graduate training in a variety of subjects. Students planning to become teachers also find sociology a valuable liberal arts major to help them prepare for their profession.
