Sociology Program
The goal of the sociology major at Seton Hill University is to provide students with the social scientific knowledge and skills that will prepare them to successfully enter
graduate programs and a variety of career fields.
Using the knowledge they acquire of social facts, analytical techniques, and research methods, graduates pursue advanced degrees and embark on successful careers
in fields such as education, criminal justice, research and public policy, and advocacy for disadvantaged populations. In addition to completing a range of sociology
courses, sociology majors are encouraged to enhance their career preparation by combining their study of sociology with courses in related fields such as education,
psychology, social work, business, criminal justice, and international studies.
In order to strengthen and enrich a student's academic experience (and resume), all sociology majors complete a required internship. Students also have the
opportunity to initiate research projects and to participate in faculty research.
Course Requirements
All sociology majors at Seton Hill University complete a common set of required courses on topics like Race, Class and Gender, Sociological Theory, and Research Methods. Then, students select upper-level courses related to the fields of criminal justice, international studies, and social policy, depending on interest. Because sociology majors typically have a wide range of career goals, faculty work with each student to identify an internship experience that will support the attainment of each individual's professional objectives.
