Departmental Overview

The Department of Sociology provides a rigorous and academically challenging program of study that allows its students to develop intellectually, socially, and professionally and to offer students sociological tools and insights they can use to address complex issues and problems encountered in social institutions and organizational settings.

The Sociology Department is committed to educating students about the realities of human social interaction. Sociology Program take a broad-spectrum approach to this, offering courses that analyze social interaction from a large scale, institutional and global perspective, as well as courses that equip students to analyze even small, daily interactions. Because human social life is fraught with inequalities and oppression, we train our students to think critically. Because our students are educated to be active, critical thinkers, they become responsive members of their community. They leave our program with analytical skills and the necessary oral and written skills required to succeed in the workplace.

Upon completion of a BS or MSc in Sociology, our students will be equipped to continue their processes of lifelong learning, whatever career paths they take.

Vision

Vision of Sociology Department is to support students on their path to becoming informed, well-rounded, and effective members of society by providing them with a rigorous curriculum where they can see themselves and their future life paths represented. We believe that the skills provided by an education in sociology are a public good, and we hope our students go on to be the leaders of tomorrow, working for a more innovative, comprehensive, fair, and sustainable future.

Mission

Through innovative research, teaching, mentoring, and community service, we craft and translate sociological knowledge to promote social equality, justice, education, and policy transformation to eradicate poverty, hunger as well as to achieve United Nation’s SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) 2030 attain sustainable goals. We are dedicated to improving public understanding of social issues locally and globally related to social class, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexuality, aging and life course, education, health and illness, urban and community life.
