Department of Sociology
A Diverse Major
A major in sociology offers excellent training and background for careers in education, law, medicine, business, political activism, and the non-profit sector.
Overview
We are not just individuals; we are part of a larger society. Understanding this larger social context is essential for thoughtful and responsible citizenship. Adhering to the liberal arts ethos, sociology examines how human values such as freedom, tolerance, equality, and community are shaped by compounding factors such as gender, class, and ethnicity.
A Personal Approach
The Department of Sociology at Rollins consists of three full-time professors; classes are small, most with fewer than twenty students; and majors are afforded considerable opportunity to interact personally with the faculty, engage in service learning and research, and to receive individual instruction.
