The minor program in sociology, offered by the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, provides you with an understanding of the theory, practice and policy that underlie issues of social change, inequality and diversity. These issues are approached from multiple perspectives, including race or ethnicity, gender, economic position, age, geographic location and position in the global political economy. You learn how sociology enhances your understanding of social realities and institutions at local, national and international levels and how it contributes to the other social sciences and to the humanities. You gain a basic understanding of the assumptions underlying the discipline of sociology and develop the research skills necessary for analysis of complex social issues. These objectives are met through a flexible program that offers you both individual and group experiences, working with faculty members on concrete intellectual and policy issues.
