The bachelor's degree in Sociology provides students with the background and skills necessary to better understand the development, structure, interaction, and collective behavior of organized groups. Graduates gain employment in corporate or governmental organizations or to continue their studies in graduate degree programs in sociology, social science or professional schools. The program helps students gain a basic understanding of the assumptions underlying the discipline of sociology as well as assists the student in developing research skills necessary for analysis of complex social issues. Those objectives are accomplished by offering a flexible program and by providing students with both individual and group experiences in working with faculty on concrete intellectual and policy issues.
