Undergraduate Sociology Program
Sociology teaches students how to develop and
support their own ideas using a variety of evidence. It promotes
learning through active involvement with projects and in classroom
discussions. Students gain the ability to work with people from
different backgrounds and to apply what they have learned to real-life
situations.Alumni Voices |

"Sociology really
brings life into the classroom. It brings out the humanness in us." Tenisha Fennie |
|
 |
"We all need to be
prepared for a more diverse society. Sociology gives you the tools
to analyze our changing world and not be afraid of these changes." Dietrich Willkie |
|

"It's not static
learning -- learning is active and it also has relevance. It gives
us an individual freedom to look into things and use their point of
view....There's no discipline that requires as much thinking and
synthesizing as many different sources of information and points of view." Matt LaFontaine |

"Other majors stress
book work with the mentality that 'this is the method that we use, and
this is how it is,' and you learn it and apply it. In sociology,
though, the knowledge is more hands on because you are involved in
projects that require field work and interviews." Melissa Medina |
