Overview

Students study a range of diverse phenomena — from small group interactions to families and religion, inequalities to race relations, and public health to population change — to better understand the links between individual experiences and the larger society.

Sociology majors at St. Mary’s University develop abilities to ask critical questions, examine problems, and gather and analyze data using both qualitative research methods and statistical tools.

Strong analytical skills and enhanced cultural awareness prepare our graduates for community engagement, leadership and a variety of post-baccalaureate careers.
