BA in Sociology in Providence United States | Brown University

The Sociology concentration (resulting in a Bachelor of Arts degree) establishes a grounding in sociological principles and research techniques while allowing students to explore specialized domains within the field. Learners build their expertise through a structured curriculum, encompassing foundational courses in methodology and theory alongside elective options across six key disciplinary strengths: Globalization & Development, Organizations and Economic Sociology, Population Studies, Health and Family Dynamics, Race, Class, Gender and Social Stratification, Environmental Sociology, and Urban Studies. This academic journey culminates in a senior seminar where students hone their focus, completing either a thesis or capstone project that involves data analysis and sociological interpretation of domestic and international social phenomena.
