Bachelor of Arts - Sociology

The sociology program’s mission is to prepare students for life in diverse, global societies by introducing them to applied and conceptual tools that enhance critical understandings of the social world. With a curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and sciences tradition, the sociology program supports the university’s academic mission (and general education requirements). It also fosters an understanding of sociological theories, principles, and methodologies, integrates service and experiential learning with other pedagogies, and prepares students for advanced education in addition to careers in teaching, social work, and a variety of administrative and research occupations.
