Overview

Sociology is the scientific study of social behavior, groups and societies as they change over time. You’ll explore how individuals connect to families, institutions, religions, cultures and societies and learn to think, write and examine social problems at an entirely new level.

In small classes, you’ll work side-by-side with caring professors who are experts in the field. You’ll prepare for leadership roles in a remarkable range of professional settings, including social and public service agencies, community organizations, marketing firms, schools, hospitals, businesses, law firms, government agencies and research institutes. You can even earn a master’s degree in social work with just one additional year of study.

More ways to learn, on campus and beyond

Practical experience is built into the Sociology curriculum from Illinois Dominican University. Our internships draw on Chicago’s wide-ranging research and social service resources. We make our connections your connections, so you can test-drive your dream job in the real world.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to collaborate with faculty on original research, and present your ideas at our spring research expo or even at conferences of professional sociologists.
