Sociology examines human relationships, social behaviors, and organizational structures. Through both numerical and observational research techniques, it provides distinctive insights into societal dynamics and their influence on personal experiences and historical developments. The field encompasses a wide range of subjects including crime studies, religious practices, family structures, social disparities, life stages from childhood to elderly years, societal continuity and transformation, urban challenges, ecological concerns, technological impacts, educational systems, and healthcare.
Students considering this major should reach out to the Sociology undergraduate advisor early in their academic journey to learn about program prerequisites. Those transferring or re-enrolling should specifically discuss core course completion with the department's undergraduate advisor.
These academic requirements may undergo periodic updates by the department, with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences maintaining authority to approve individual exceptions when warranted. Consequently, the College highly recommends students regularly consult with both their major advisor and CLAS advisor to verify optimal study plans before finalizing decisions.
