As part of the social sciences, sociology increases the awareness of the impact that group behavior has on the individual. Students will learn sociological concepts, demonstrate use of sociological explanations, and develop an ethical understanding of cultural relativism and social justice.
The Sociology department also oversees courses in Cultural Anthropology and Social Work.
The department prepares students for graduate studies and careers in a variety of areas, including:
- Applied sociology
- Business
- Social work
- Law
- Education
