Overview
The Behavioral and Social Sciences Department has as its mission preparing students for occupations such as social work, counseling, law, human services administration, teaching and pastoring as well as for graduate and professional schools in areas concerned with human behavior and the social world. We believe our students should be taught the Christian perspective on the behavioral and social sciences and should plan to be involved in vocations that fulfill the great commission of Jesus.
A broad liberal arts undergraduate education should expand the students’ understanding of their own social context, increase their knowledge of individual behavior and facilitate their adjustment to a rapidly changing social world by preparing them to recognize and appreciate cultural diversity.
The sociology student may pursue a general course of study in sociology or focus on one of the five emphases in the discipline:
- criminology and law
- graduate studies
- family studies
- human services (social work)
- cross-cultural studies
The Bachelor in Sociology program from Lee University encourages a liberal arts perspective and broad discipline-training, with required courses in social theory, statistics and research methods.
