Overview

At Sociology from Western Colorado University you’ll learn how inequality, health care, housing, religion and education impact individuals and entire social groups. Once you adopt a sociological perspective, you will begin to challenge ordinary assumptions of how the world works. Sociology’s subject matter is wonderfully broad, but you can customize your experience based on your personal interests and professional aspirations. In the program, you’ll gain the necessary research skills to pursue an advanced degree or begin your career as a teacher, counselor, social worker, criminal justice advocate and more.
