Bachelor of Arts – Sociology School of Arts and Sciences Sociology is the scientific study of society. It is a storehouse of ideas and facts that describe and explain human behavior. In the search for this knowledge, sociologists focus on the values, institutions, organizations and other social forces that characterize a society. Sociologists also concentrate on how these social forces shape a person’s life. By carefully collecting and analyzing research data, sociologists produce explanations of how our social world works and how it influences our personal lives. This has turned sociology into a useful tool for solving social as well as personal problems. In fact, sociological research often helps lawmakers, administrators, business and labor officials, and other citizens to understand and solve problems that confront them on a local, national and international level. Course Requirements Students seeking a degree in sociology are required to complete the Ursuline Studies Program, the writing-intensive core curriculum. These 49 semester hours include mathematics, science, sociology, psychology, history, the arts, philosophy and religious studies. An additional 30 hours are needed to fill the requirements for a sociology major. Students take elective courses to complete the remaining hours of the 128 required for the Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. Students desiring practical experience are encouraged to participate in the internship, service learning and/or cooperative education program. Students are welcome to explore test-out opportunities to earn credits.
