Overview

At Sociology of Luther College students have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in many professions through the internship programs available. Many of these on-the-job learning experiences take place during January term. The department also provides students with the opportunity to engage in survey research activities either independently or under a department member's supervision.

A core group of courses is required for all sociology majors. These required courses include Introduction to Sociology, Research Methodology, and Social Statistics. Sociology students then select five additional courses within the major and two social science courses outside it.
