Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

In the Department of Sociology, we engage with the pressing social issues of our time.
Sociology teaches you to make connections between individual experiences and broader social structures and processes.
Criminology is a subfield of Sociology, and is the study of legal and extra-legal sanctions, including their effects on individuals, the police, corrections, the judiciary, the state, and social and governmental reactions to it.
