Overview

Sociology offers a wide range of career possibilities since concerns over issues like the environment, urban development, health, aging, and a competitive global economy have increased the demand for social scientists and trained evaluators. The Department of Sociology provides curriculum and training to prepare students to meet this need. Students will master the techniques of qualitative and quantitative research, general statistical analysis, and impact analysis in 36 hours of graduate study. They learn the major theoretical perspectives of sociology and implement practical applications in one of two tracks.
