Introduction
Put simply; sociologists study why people do the things that they do. Sociology provides valuable insights into the human experience and assists in the understanding of human behavior. Sociologists are interested in understanding how people live and interact, in learning how human groups of all kinds (families, Sports teams, religious groups, crowds, large bureaucratic organizations, etc.) operate in a wide variety of situations, and assess and evaluating how societies work. Sociology explores assumptions about people, their groups, and their communities. It carefully analyzes problem areas and evaluates possible solutions.
Fredonia’s restructured program is focused on three areas: Community and Urban Sociology, Medical Sociology, and Cultural Sociology. This restructuring allows you to define career opportunities better. Fredonia's Sociology program offers a rich exchange of diverse ideas, interests, and projects. You will be able to combine a major with a minor offered through our department (Sociology, Criminal Justice and Public Health) or other minors such as Communications, Psychology, Geographic Information Systems, or any other one of Fredonia’s outstanding programs to give you an edge in the competitive marketplace.
