Sociology
Major/Minor
The sociologist, in pursuing a scientific study of human groups, seeks to learn: how social structures evolve; how groups relate to one another; how they change; what enables some groups to survive and prosper while others decline and disappear; how a group affects it various members; and how members affect the group. Today, sociology is a field so broad that its practitioners must specialize in one or more of its component fields.
- The specific program of study for each sociology major is determined by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor.
- Related course requirements may be selected from offerings in anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, history, and social work. Students may wish to consider a minor in one of the disciplines.
