Bachelor of Arts - Sociology

Hofstra's BA in Sociology will expose you to a broad range of issues and theories that offer insight into how humans interact in society. You will leave the program with strong critical investigative and reasoning skills; the ability to compose solid, argument-based writing; and the confidence needed to clearly present research and work with diverse groups of people. You will find that mastery of these traits will make you a competitive candidate in many professions.

Your education begins with a strong foundation in sociological theory, issues in contemporary society, and the use of statistics and research methods. Honing your ability to gather and analyze data is also an important element of Hofstra’s Sociology program. You will also choose from among select courses that focus specifically on issues of race, gender and social inequality. And because a sociologist deals with every aspect of human interaction, you will complete classwork in humanities, natural and social sciences, obtaining a solid liberal arts education.
