Bachelor of Arts


The Bachelor of Arts in Sociology is designed for graduates who are aware of their place in the local community and the nation and to motivate them to actively participate in the life of the community and the nation.  Communication in a diverse society is a major emphasis.  Students develop a critical attitude toward historical and sociological facts.  They study a view of human behavior that focuses on the patterns of relationships among individuals rather than solely on individuals themselves.  Also, they take a look at the scientific study of human societies and human behavior in the groups that make up a society.  Students develop a perspective that attempts to build theories to explain a wide variety of behavior and social problems.

Students receive practical experience in research data analysis and are exposed to a wide variety of agencies in the helping professions.  Research experience in the field can greatly increase each students ability to understand social situations to successfully communicate with people from different backgrounds.  Sociological training can also be applied in organizations of varied types:  government agencies, political campaigns, law firms, marketing firms, social service agencies, communications corporations, non-profit organizations.  Graduates with sociological skills can make important contributions to the life of an organization.  The degree also prepares students for graduate school.
