Sociology studies various aspects of human interaction and social
phenomena. The sociology program addresses sociological issues pertaining
to self; social groups; social and cultural values; family and community
relations; economical and political relations; race, ethnic, gender, and
class stratification; the city and the nature of social
organizations.
The comparative/historical approach of the program enables students to analyze these issues in the United States, as well as in other societies with varied cultural values and at different levels of development. The sociology curriculum addresses the educational objectives of students who wish to: 1) develop skills in critical thinking and analysis; 2) learn the ways in which sociological thinking can contribute to one's active and constructive participation in society; and 3) apply sociological theories to social public policy, planning, and administration.
