Department of Sociology

The Department of Sociology provides opportunities for students to understand the conceptual and methodological tools used by sociologists to understand society. Students will be encouraged to:

• see society as concrete day-to-day behavior of human beings;
• grasp the relationship between history, society and the individual's life;
• realize that social patterns are tools for the accomplishment of human ends and not necessarily unalterable facts of life; and
• develop the ability to critically analyze social phenomena.
