With a degree in sociology, you’ll be prepared to address social concerns by identifying trends and patterns within groups of people. It pairs wonderfully with another major, but you may also choose to take it alone.
The School of Behavioral Science finds its foundation in God’s Word, especially in our belief that all humans are made in the image of God. As Christian sociologists, we know our research is concerned with bettering conditions for the people groups we study.
As a sociology major, you can expect interactive, group-based classes, in which you’ll discuss assigned readings and collaborate to find practical approaches to real-life scenarios. You’ll explore what past research and case studies have concluded, what your professors have seen as experienced practitioners, and which techniques experts use today.
As a sociology major, you’ll take both behavioral science core and major-specific courses. Your core classes will introduce you to sociology, psychology, and social research. You’ll also engage with courses in topics such as social problems, cultural anthropology, and social psychology.
