Program Description Sociology-the scientific study of society and human interaction-is an opportunity to learn a great deal about yourself and the society around you. The Department of Sociology at Wichita State University offers strong undergraduate and graduate programs and gives you the option to study society in general by taking one course, or in more depth by completing the 15-hour minor or the 30-hour major. The study of society mandates specific skills for interpreting information and observations. As a sociology major, you are required to take research methods, statistics and theory, plus 15 hours of electives. With this flexibility, you can select specific areas of concentration in deviant behavior, family, gender, gerontology, social organization, intimate relations, disability and medical sociology, urban sociology and others. Or you may prefer some combination of these specialties. Depending on your needs, interests and goals, you may take courses in related fields, such as social work, psychology, political science or minority studies, or in other colleges such as business or education. Sociology is an excellent general degree in the social sciences which may be tailored to your specific needs as you prepare for graduate or professional schools.
