The discipline of sociology provides concepts and skills necessary to study human behavior and social life.
Sociologists emphasize and examine the diversity of human experience.
They look critically and reflectively at past and present society. By combining theory with practice, the discipline of sociology encourages students to understand society as it is and to imagine it as it could be. A major and minor program is available in sociology. A sociology emphasis is also available in the interdisciplinary behavioral science major. Additional work in anthropology can apply toward the major with the consent of the academic advisor.
