Sociologists investigate basic human and social processes and change in an increasingly complex world. Sociological research addresses important and fascinating questions about many aspects of social life, ranging from the “micro-level” of everyday experience to the “macro-level” of cross-societal comparisons. Our faculty research strengths include the sociology of health and medicine, the sociology of age and the life course, social inequalities, and research methods. Our undergraduate program also offers concentrations in crime, law and justice; gender, work and family; health, medicine and aging; and social inequality. Many sociology majors participate in field-based learning experiences, both through their classes and through their involvement in faculty research projects. The Department of Sociology encourages interaction between students and faculty by offering many opportunities for individualized study and research. Our department has a long history of combining academic excellence and leadership in research with a friendly, student-centered culture, for both graduate and undergraduate students. Especially with the increase in diversity in our society, many employers look favorably on the breadth of knowledge and perspective provided by majoring in sociology. Our program prepares students for rigorous graduate and professional programs, whether in sociology or in such fields as medicine, law, public health, and social work, as well as for interesting jobs. Graduates of our program are working in positions in research institutions, medicine, private industry, and the public sector. Majors have the option of choosing a general sociology curriculum or one of four concentrations: Crime, Law and Justice Gender, Work and Family Health, Medicine and Aging Social Inequality Students may choose four courses within any of the following specializations for a concentration in that area.
