What are the constraints of your culture? Wouldn’t you like to know? When is it OK to break them?
The Sociology BA program equips you with the tools to critically examine the social world around you. Through our courses, you will examine institutions and policies that shape opportunities as well as cultures, social norms, and social contexts that influence identity and behavior.
Focusing on issues ranging from race, gender, immigration, culture, and religion, you’re encouraged to critically engage with contemporary social challenges at both local and global scales.
