Sociology

Program Overview

Sociology is the science of society, social institutions and social relationships. Sociologists study human behavior as it relates to interactions among individuals and social groups. They explore how areas of inequality -- like race, class and gender -- influence these interactions.

Scranton's sociology program gives students a liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. Our faculty help to develop students’ knowledge, skills, competencies and values. 

The major provides a solid base in general sociology, which is the required knowledge for any administrative position dealing with interpersonal relations and management. Students learn research techniques, data analysis, and other skills that prepare them for graduate school and a range of career options.

The curriculum teaches students to think critically about the world around them, especially with regard to:

  • the dynamics of socialization
  • social organizations
  • social stratification
  • interaction in everyday life
  • the importance of societal conformity in ensuring social survival
  • the processes behind enacting organizational and social change.

Graduates of our program have found employment as social workers, counselors, researchers and sociologists. Others have chosen to pursue advanced degrees at Temple University, Western New England University and SUNY University of Buffalo, among others.
