Sociology and Criminology and Justice Studies majors have excellent core programs that provide an integrated approach towards addressing issues of inequality, environment and community on the sociology side, as well as inequality, law, social policy and action in the CJS curriculum. Both majors stress research skills.

As a department we work to address social justice at the local, regional and global level. Our goal is to foster a desire and respect for social change amongst our students and our local community. Both our undergraduate and graduate programs encourage imagination, creativity and the development of applied methodological skills.  We are engaged in our local community and the larger national and international debates through our research and our scholarly activism. We encourage you to join us!
