Undergraduate
Sociology examines the organization, structure, and change of societal groups. It combines rigorous methods of inquiry and analysis with a remarkable freedom of choice in research topics: mass media, the environment, racism, gender issues, class, war and peace, deviance, social control, and many more possible topics.
The Sociology Department offers three degree programs:
B.A.
The undergraduate program in Sociology is designed to satisfy the intellectual and career interests of students who are concerned about what is happening in society and in daily personal interactions.

B.A./M.S.W.
