Students wishing to pursue a B.A. degree in sociology may select either a general studies program or curriculum with a concentration area in cultural studies, criminal justice, or social work.

The sociology major focuses upon four important areas: theory and research methods, social organization and problems, social institutions, and social inequality. Studies in these areas provide students with a broad based understanding of human behavior and society which is applicable to many professional areas and which provides a basis for being competitive in a constantly changing work world. In addition, specialized courses provide technical skills in computer use, problem solving, and the development of communication skills.
