Mission
The sociology curriculum helps students understand the workings of societies, their
institutions, organizations and groups by exposing them to the history, knowledge,
theory and methods of the discipline. By introducing students to the concepts,
theoretical frameworks, and methodological techniques of sociology, students are
aided in developing a 'sociological imagination,' leading to a deeper understanding
of the relationships between personal experience and the larger social world.
Sociology is a core discipline in Social Sciences/ Liberal Arts.
