About Program

The BS Sociology program is designed to build a strong understanding of society through sociological theory, research methods, and applied social analysis. Students study a range of areas including population dynamics, social statistics, gender issues, development, deviance, and other contemporary social concerns.

The program combines theoretical learning with research-oriented training so that students can examine social structures, institutions, behavior, and changing social conditions from a broad and informed perspective. This interdisciplinary outlook helps students develop the analytical skills needed to understand complex social issues and contribute meaningfully to research, policy, community development, and related professional fields.
