Overview

As a Sociology major at Baker University, you will work closely with an advisor to create a personalized undergraduate experience. The small class sizes allow you to dive deeply into different sociological theories to provide a foundation and gain insight into the social world around you.

Overview

You’ll have an opportunity to participate in the Inside-Out Prison exchange program. You’ll attend a first-of-its-kind weekly class with incarcerated women at the Topeka Corrections facility. Sociology is the study of human behavior, patterns of social relationships, and societal interactions in everyday life.

At the core of sociology is the sociological perspective, or the mindset that our social backgrounds influence behaviors, attitudes, and opportunities in life. Sociologists use research to examine these behaviors and how they relate to their social networks, families, work, and community. The research provides insight into social problems, crime, social justice, the economy, and how they intersect.

Baker University has partnerships with various agencies in Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City to offer internships to gain real-world experience.
