Are you passionate about people and their cultures? How about understanding the concepts of equity, prejudice and privilege? Do you deeply care about people’s well-being and want to be sensitive to their social circumstances? If so, you should consider studying sociology.
Sociology pairs well with almost any other field of study because it provides a systematic way of understanding society in its entirety. With guidance from faculty, you will be equipped to critically engage with some of the most pressing social issues of our time, such as health and well-being, inequality, poverty, and race and ethnic relations.

Isaak Swan
Class of 2019
Sociology has made it impossible for me to ignore the sufferings and perspectives of others – this is invaluable. This has been modeled to me by faculty that have cared more about me, my life, and my academic growth than any other teachers I have ever had. The deep connections that the faculty formed with me are why I chose sociology in the first place.
