Mission The Sociology Department seeks to develop critically thinking, engaged 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, as well as political, social and cultural commentary. Encourages the development of a deep personal concern for human need due to a systematic exposure to the pressing social dilemmas that face us daily. Develops in our students, and in the larger University community, an understanding of the relevance of sociological 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-religious organizations on a paraprofessional level through direct involvement in various social agencies. Prepares students for graduate study or career opportunities in various public and private social service agencies, research, business, or Christian service. Sociology Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements.
