The undergraduate program in sociology is designed to create an environment that stimulates intellectual curiosity and encourages creative thought. The department offers a wide variety of courses in order to provide students with a solid background in their discipline. The department works to promote interaction among students and other social scientists, both within and outside the university.

Students can complete a General Program in Sociology or specialize in one of five concentrations: Family, Race and Urban Studies, Gender and Sexuality, Gerontology, and Social Studies Education . Within the specializations, however, there is a fair amount of flexibility for students to pursue topics of interest.
