Sociology is the scientific study of the relationship between human behavior and the larger social and historical context. Sociologists seek to discover regularities and order in social behavior and to express these patterns as theoretical generalizations that apply to a wide range of behaviors and settings. General and specialized areas of study are covered. Specific areas of focus include cultural diversity, inequality, and social change. Requirements are designed to provide a strong foundation in social theory and research methods while allowing students flexibility in the design of their programs. The department encourages experiential learning, including internships and international study abroad. Along with the significant contribution sociology makes to a liberal arts education, the program prepares the Sociology major for graduate study in a variety of fields anda broad range of careers, including: (1) graduate study in sociology, counseling, business, or education, among others; (2) graduate study in the professions, such as law; (3) careers in research, in the public or private arena ; (4) careers in organizations, such as administration and consultant positions in business, government, and community agencies and organizations; (5) community change-oriented positions in such fields as nonprofit management, public health, or urban planning. .
