| The value set characterizing all the activities of this department is, in the last analysis, a belief in the basic dignity of every human being.
From this perspective we move to the more immediate objectives: to present students with various facets of the contemporary social world in a scientific and empirical manner.
This includes analysis of social structures, interactive processes, the nature and function of institutions, social group relationships, cultural-environment interrelationships, and cross-cultural studies with some emphasis on cultures outside the Euro-American tradition.
Furthermore, the department offers to its students an orientation of self in relation to others and to basic social institutions, including the family, church and state as well as the economic, educational and governmental processes within a global framework.
Major
The department offers the major B.A. in Sociology. Two concentrations, social work and criminology, are available to sociology majors.
