The study of sociology examines the patterns and processes of interaction between people in diverse settings.
Our courses sharpen the ability to evaluate social life and social issues with an analytical mind. You will be empowered to understand complex societal relationships and work towards enhancing the quality of life through creation and implementation of effective social programs. Sociology contributes to our private Catholic college's mission of preparing students to transform society.
