Department of Sociology: The Department of Sociology currently consists of 16 tenured/tenure track faculty covering two majors. The Sociology Department offers undergraduate degrees in General Sociology and Criminology. The department also offers a Sociology degree with a specialty in Social Work.
As a result of our department's nuanced disciplinary offerings, the scholarly and life experiences of our faculty have been pivotal in shaping students' sociological imaginations in ways that refine their ability to employ critical thinking and analysis to confront challenges in contemporary societies. Our department not only prepares students to think about localized social settings, but societies in the State of California, the United States, as well as in globalized and geopolitical contexts. Through the use of academic instruction, conference attendance, and research-based projects for our students, the sociology department has been able to refine students' learning outcomes based on critical thinking and problem solving, as well as quantitative and qualitative reasoning. Students thus acquire knowledge and skills to develop sociological research projects, assess empirical data, and apply different sociological perspectives for comprehending their own social experiences and experiences seen in the social environment across a variety of societies. As such, our collegial faculty have been successful in enhancing our students' sociological knowledge in ways that foster greater community involvement so that they are not only better academic citizens, but better citizens in their society overall.
