R. Flory Associate Professor: .......................................................Christerson Mission The Sociology Department seeks to develop critically thinking, en- gaged Christians, who apply the sociological imagination in their scholarship, work and service, to church, community and society.
Learning Outcomes The sociology program:
• Develops the ability of our students to use the ideas and concepts of sociology in the critical evaluation of social research, and political, social and cultural commentary. • Encourages the development of a deep personal concern for human need due to a systematic exposure to the press- ing social dilemmas that face us daily. • Develops in our students, and in the larger university com- munity, an understanding of the relevance of sociologi- cal insight to the Christian who would be aware, caring, progressive and productive in church and society.
• Encourages and promotes a sociology that is theologically informed, and a theology that is sociologically informed.
• Fosters a desire to participate with religious and non-re- ligious organizations on a paraprofessional level through direct involvement in various social agencies. • Prepares students for graduate study or career opportuni- ties in various public and private social service agencies, research, business, or Christian service.
