The sociology concentration is a challenging component of the undergraduate curriculum at Brown, encouraging students to develop a strong foundation of critical thinking and analysis. The sociology concentration provides a well-integrated exploration of the theory, research methods and statistical skills necessary for academic work in all of the social sciences and in many other areas of knowledge.
Sociology is made up of a variety of orientations that provides a rich fabric for social analysis.
The sociology concentration incorporates this diversity so that students develop a facility for synthesizing different perspectives in order to gain a deeper understanding of society, and to learn how to apply these analytical skills to a variety of social issues.
