Offer you a focused understanding of human relationships, insititutions, and services. Provide an applied curriculum through which you can study the consequences of social organizations on the creation, maintenance, delivery, and evaluation of human services. Provide a sound basis for understanding society as well as a strong liberal studies foundation. The sociology program at NAU is enhanced by opportunities to meet, socialize, and work with other students and faculty. Our professors are dedicated teachers who provide personal attention to students.
Students work with faculty on collaborative research or independent research and study.
Our students travel to professional conferences and present papers. The department and student organizations host events that bring students and faculty together in small informal settings. Our graduates tell us that the relationships they developed with professors and student colleagues were among the most rewarding of their educational experiences. My studies within NAU's Sociology Department have been my most rewarding academic experiences to date. The factor that sets NAU's department apart from other education programs is the commitment and dedication of the faculty to undergraduate education.
