After Westminster Concentration in Criminal Justice Intercultural Studies Social Policy Internships department website Studying Sociology Westminster s Department of Political Science and Sociology is a small but lively place. Students majoring in Sociology learn about themselves, their culture and other cultures. They learn why people might act differently as part of a group than they might alone.
Students learn to ask questions, analyze data, and understand how organizations work.
They learn how prisons and schools and churches and families are similar as well as different. Students analyze their own data in one of the College s computer labs. The general Sociology program is designed for students who want a broad-based, liberal arts education. It applies a sociological perspective to material which may be encountered in History, English, Political Science and Religion courses. Because we see Sociology as both a scientific and humanistic field, we feel that our subject is central to the curriculum here at Westminster.
