Welcome to the Department of Sociology!

Do you want to make the rules or follow the rules? In sociology, we help students become rule-breakers and rule-makers in the working world and beyond. Our graduates move into jobs they feel passionate about. They become music producers, environmentalists, activists, recruiters, researchers, PhD students, teachers and human resource managers. The careers our students pursue are as diverse as our students. Our job is not to mold you into what we’d like you to be, but to help you become what you love.

Employers want graduates who can communicate openly, think creatively and interact easily with diverse groups of people. We will work with you to gain the necessary skills to find the job that will excite you now and into the future. Here are just some of the things you’ll develop in your classes: problem-solving, critical thinking, research skills, leadership and conflict resolution. The faculty members in our department are well known in the University for our warmth, passion and dedication to our students. Thanks for giving us the opportunity for showing you why.

From a fellow rule-breaker and maker,

Linda Markowitz, PhD
Chair and Professor, Sociology
