Overview

The Sociology major at California State University Channel Islands is designed to give students the ability and opportunity to analyze the world around them, from local and particular issues affecting people in Ventura County to national and international questions.

The programme offers a range of courses that tap into these issues including Race, Ethnicity and Power, Gender and Sexuality, Stratification and Social Class, as well as interdisciplinary courses that draw on the strengths of colleagues in other disciplines.

The sociology major stresses the interdisciplinary and international perspective that distinguishes Channel Islands degree programmes. Graduates from this programme are well-trained in sociological research methods and afforded opportunities to apply what they’ve learned in the community.
