Students acquire a quality liberal arts education as they explore the social causes and consequences of human behavior. The Department prepares students for 21st Century careers in business, government, volunteer and non-government organizations, and academia. We offer three undergraduate curricular tracks in general sociology, criminology/criminal justice, and environmental sociology. Core areas of strength at the graduate level include: environment and natural resources; food, agriculture, and development; crime, law, and deviance; and social inequality, social justice, and governance.
