Why is our society organized the way it is, with some groups controlling more power and resources than others?

How did we get this way? And how can we change in ways that reflect our care and concern for others?

You can explore these and other questions during the  programme delivered by Saint Peter's University. Over half of our classes have moved beyond the walls of the University to include community-learning components. These community immersion experiences help you explore career possibilities with local governmental and community-based organizations as you perform evaluations and plan programs. You will gain real-world experience by conducting research projects, holding conferences and building new research skills.

Sociology majors learn to value the power of individuals and groups in changing society.
