The Sociology major equips students for entry-level positions in the field of human services, for example, child and family services, social work, and Christian ministry where a background in sociology is either required or enhances the individual's qualifications for employment. Courses in sociology emphasize the dynamics of contemporary social life as these impact individuals, families, and society-at-large in a culturally diverse and global environment. Students apply written and verbal communication skills, as well as research methods in problem-solving, within a social science context.In the development of the Sociology program, the focus has been to enable the student to understand and predict human behavior and social phenomena within the context of a Christian worldview.
