Overview

Sociology is a social science that studies society and the social activity of human beings. Sociologists are interested in discovering and explaining how and why people think, feel and act the way they do, focusing on groups and categories of people sharing common characteristics. Graduates of the Sociology programme at University of the Incarnate Word have an ability to navigate relationships and the globalizing world, think broadly, write and communicate effectively, and work through complex problems with a scientific approach, giving them an immediate advantage in the eyes of many employers.

Career opportunities

Students work and learn from award-winning and frequently published faculty considered experts in the field.

The program’s small class sizes allow for more individual attention and mentorship from faculty.
