BA: Sociology 2020-2021

The Sociology Program at CSUCI is committed to offering our students a rigorous and developmental major that challenges them while cultivating the sequence of skills and understandings essential to success in the major. Our course of studies emphasizes systematic empirical inquiry which seeks explanations of social phenomena based on the collection and analysis of appropriate evidence and the application of sound reasoning. Our coursework emphasizes critical thinking and the cultivation of the Sociological Imagination. Our goal is to provide an education that is valuable to students who continue on to graduate studies as well to those who complete their formal education with a bachelor’s degree.
