Sociology Minor

Sociologists study human social behavior. More specifically, sociology examines how we group ourselves (families, social groups, formal organizations, societies); how we behave in groups (collective action, social change, crime and delinquency); and how characteristics like age, race, social class, and gender affect our relationships with each other and with organizations and institutions.

Students who graduate from our Sociology program enjoy a wide range of employment opportunities—business, non-profit, government, and non-governmental organizations. The concepts and skills students learn in our Sociology programs equip them to critically analyze the evolving world and the place within and help them compete effectively in today and tomorrow's job market.
