Sociology
Sociology is the systematic and scientific study of social life, from peer groups to mass media to the global society. The Sociology program at Sacred Heart University is value driven and the faculty provide a course of study that fosters awareness of social conflict and inequality while highlighting practices and structures that promote healthy self-development, cohesive family and community, and a fair and just society. The program provides an excellent foundation for careers in professional sociology and social research, teaching, counseling, community service, human resources, journalism, public relations, government service, law, NGOs, and other non-profit organizations.
