Introduction
Sociology is to prepare students for careers and meaningful professions in sociological research, policy analysis, cybersecurity, and criminal justice. As part of one of the most prominent HBCUs in the nation, Sociology seeks to dismantle myths about marginalized groups and their experiences in their home, the country, and society. By providing training, in theory, research, and critical thinking, the department produces students with knowledge and skills essential for challenging the current climate from a political, social, and cultural perspective.
Study Abroad Opportunities
Each year students in the Department of Sociology, along with students from other departments, are provided the opportunity to participate in a faculty-led study abroad trip. Professor Idonia Barrett has coordinated numerous trips to exciting places around the world through EF College Study Tours. Over the years, Professor Barrett has taken students to Cuba, London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Students are immersed in the local culture whereby daily they interact with citizens of that particular country for approximately nine days. The purpose of the study-abroad trips is to expose students to different world cultures, legal systems, and social & human organizations.
