Sociology is a dynamic and powerful tool to understand the way people
organize themselves into families, groups, communities, cities and
organizations, and societies. The Department of Sociology and Social Work offers a variety of
courses in sociology, anthropology, and social work useful to students with
diverse professional goals. Sociology is a popular major for students planning
careers in such professions as law, business, journalism, health care,
education, politics, social work, or public administration. It provides a
solid body of knowledge on the nature and problems of human relations and a
distinctive way of looking at the world. Through readings, research, and
systematic discussion students are introduced to fundamental problems of the
contemporary world in an innovative and
challenging manner and
are prepared to
become imaginative and sensitive participants in the events that will
shape the 21st century. The courses offer a range of methodologies and research techniques
which can be applied in a variety of fields such as administration, criminal
justice, provision of medical care, and guidance and counseling. In addition,
exposure to theoretical and methodological issues and to comparative,
historical, and critical analyses provides those students who want to pursue
graduate work with a very strong academic background. The Sociology program makes a special effort to initiate students into
a scholarly community which brings together a distinguished faculty,
interested citizens, and community leaders. The Department sponsors lectures,
organizes conferences, and participates in panel discussions on subjects of
wide interest. Students also have an opportunity to participate in the
Sociology Club, a forum that addresses pressing contemporary issues and
provides opportunities for social activities and interaction. |
