Overview

You’ll learn how interactions between people produce and reproduce social patterns, power dynamics and social structures like capitalism, white supremacy and settler colonialism. Sociology goes beyond blaming individuals for social problems to explore the institutions that make social patterns durable. You’ll also discover how people are organizing to change those institutions. And you’ll be inspired by research and internship opportunities in real-world settings.

Highlights

By the time you graduate, you'll have the tools to analyze social structures, understand social injustice and promote social change. Your cultural competency and critical thinking skills will lend themselves to careers in social work, education, law, politics, public policy, advocacy and community organizing.

The program in Sociology at Willamette University is designed to reflect the historic importance of the discipline in the liberal arts education and tradition. The sociology curriculum teaches students to recognize how social processes, social institutions, and culture are produced through humans interacting with one another, and how social, economic, political, and historical forces shape, and are shaped by, social relationships.
