DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY

Sociology is the study of social human behavior; in particular the way people interact, organize, and take action. The discipline provides students with a strong analytical and theoretical background and skills to work with and understand people.
Many students participate in internships in nonprofit and governmental agencies throughout the Cleveland Metropolitan Area. Graduates have gone into many careers: to law and criminal justice, social work and counseling, public health and nonprofit administration, education and business, as well as sociology and anthropology.
