Have you ever wondered how your gender and race affect your salary? How your friends, your family, and your education shape your attitudes and opinions? How social movements are started? What compels people to commit crimes? Why a group of spectators can suddenly become a raging mob?
You will learn the answers to these questions – and more – as a sociology major.
At the University of Cincinnati, the Department of Sociology provides numerous areas of study and research in a friendly, stimulating, and rigorous academic environment. The department offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The undergraduate program introduces students to the diversity of society and the methods that sociologists use to explore it. Areas of study include migration and immigration, family, gender, race and ethnicity, work, religion, deviance, urban problems, social movements, along with many others.
The department has much to offer – knowledgeable faculty, an extensive library collection, a microcomputer laboratory, and a survey research laboratory. There is also an undergraduate sociology club that plans educational, recreational, and service projects and activities for its members.
If you enjoy learning about communities, families, diversity, organizations, and how people live and work together in harmony or discord, sociology may be for you. If you are interested in what makes societies work, then consider studying sociology.
