The Sociology
Department proudly presents the May 2004 Valedictorians Pamela Gordon and
Melissa Clark!








Sociology is the branch of science which specializes in the study of human social interaction. As part of a liberal arts education, the program in sociology has three main goals:

1. To convey basic knowledge of human societies and social relations leading to the development of a perspective for understanding and appreciating the diversity and potentiality of human cultures.

2. To develop skills in collecting and analyzing social data, in speaking and writing clearly and effectively, and in thinking logically and critically.

3. To prepare students for graduate study in sociology, social work, or a related field; for employment in the social services; or other occupations in which a liberal arts background is beneficial.
