Human interaction forms a complex tapestry woven from behavioral, psychological, and environmental threads. Our conversations, decisions, daily lives, and social structures all reflect the cultural and societal contexts we inhabit. The sociology program provides frameworks to analyze the intricate dynamics of human relationships and social systems. As a sociology student, you'll study under specialists in gender studies, class structures, racial dynamics, global economics, family systems, public health, migration patterns, activism, and ecological issues. Our professors have authored numerous publications in these fields. Senior sociology students can participate in our internship initiative, gaining hands-on experience with urban social service organizations. Expand your perspective through courses like: Social Stratification, Medical Sociology, Gender Studies, Racial Dynamics, Economic Systems, and Society and Ecology. Marquette's urban campus serves as a living laboratory for sociology students to observe diverse human experiences. Combine academic learning with civic engagement through our Service Learning Program, which offers placements at local nonprofits, educational support programs for underprivileged youth, poverty relief initiatives, and end-of-life care services while studying related social issues.
