Our department is known on campus for strong teaching and we offer a variety of courses in which we use the sociological perspective to analyze current social issues, including crime, deviance, gender, the social organization of the family, race relations, health care, and death and dying. Our curriculum provides both introductory and advanced offerings in these topics, which continue to attract a large number of students. At present we have approximately 300 majors and minors. Sociology majors are trained in both qualitative and quantitative methods. We offer a research seminar in which students, working closely with a faculty member, design and carry out their own research projects. Recent work has included a focus interview study of Vietnamese refugee adaptation patterns; survey analysis of alcohol use on campus; an investigation of domestic abuse patterns, using records of a local battered women's shelter; and a participant observation study of the subculture of snowboarders. |
