Currently, the Sociology Program has 15 full-time faculty members and more than four hundred undergraduate majors and minors, many of them participating in our E-campus program. We offer a wide variety of courses and offer the opportunity to concentrate in one of three specialty options: Crime, Law, and Deviance, Environmental and Natural Resources, or Social Service and Advocacy. Sociology students also have the opportunity to apply and develop their sociological skills through our internship program.
