Sociology

On-campus Undergraduate Minor Concentration

Sociology is the study of social behavior and the socio-cultural settings in which it occurs. Sociology and Anthropology majors may choose to concentrate in either Sociology or Anthropology, and non-majors may minor in either discipline.

By studying Sociology, you will:

examine the constructed nature of class, culture, ethnicity, gender, race, and sexual orientation
learn how to conduct field research in local communities
apply knowledge from research and theory to issues in the community
develop critical insights into possibilities for social change

Sociology and Anthropology majors will complete 36 credits in courses related to their major, including a three-credit internship, and 120 credits overall.

Sociology minors will complete 18 credits, consisting of three core courses and three electives.
