Description
The sociology major is built around the core concept of sociological imagination, which is the ability to see the connection between individual life chances and larger social forces. How much of what happens to us is a result of personal motivation and abilities versus being shaped by the time period and social-historical context of when we live our lives? The major provides a rigorous grounding in critical thinking, research, and communication through a set of five required classes which form the foundation upon which students build a track of electives based on their individual interests. The sociology major offers a wide range of electives for majors to choose from, which include faculty expertise and multiple courses available about the role of technology in society, environmental issues, and the sociology of everyday life. Both required and elective coursework emphasizes the importance of race, class, and gender in shaping life chances, both in day-to-day life and in people’s experiences with social institutions such as education, medicine, the family, mass media, the criminal justice system, and the economy. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of collective action in being changemakers for a more equitable society.
