DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND CRIMINOLOGY

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.

One of the major areas of study within the discipline of sociology is criminology. Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminal behavior. Criminology examines the cause, extent, and types of crime in society, as well as crime prevention.

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.

SCC majors scheduled to graduate in May or August, 2012 should stop in the department office to complete paperwork for the required comprehensive exam.
