At Concordia, we incorporate a uniquely Christian perspective as we intorduce students to a diversity of societies, both American and non-American. Small classes allow your professors to get to know you well and give a personal touch to your education. Concordia students can combine a major in psychology with a major or minor in sociology for preparation for a career in social work. Past Concordia students who chose this option have gone on to graduate study in psychology or social work. Some have even found immediate employment in social work agencies.
Students can receive as much as one full semester s credit by working in agencies.
Concordia students have worked with such agencies as the Ann Arbor Homeless Shelter, Lutheran Child and Family Services, The Salvation Army, as well as in hospitals, churches, and other agencies. Each May term, students can earn three credits in Sociology by going on the road to study different cultures in America. Past and planned trips include, inner city Washington D.C. and New York City, rural North Dakota, The Crow and Cheyenne Reservations of Montana, and Morman Utah. Each year a different location is selected and students combine academic and hands-on experience as they learn about new groups of people. Take a look at some of the Sociology Courses we offer.
