How do these majors differ from each other?


Throughout the department, themes of social justice application and analyses can be found and explored. With a degree in Sociology, you will study society and social interaction, that is, the nature and workings of humans in group life.

Criminal Justice majors learn to think in terms of theoretical critiques of the inner-workings of the criminal justice system.

Human Services majors learn about the helping services approach as well as conflict resolution tactics or counseling strategies.
