Liberal Arts and Sciences: Sociology Major

The Liberal Education program is part of each and every major at Deree and is required of all students. Generally, students begin their studies at Deree by enrolling in Liberal Education courses as well as a few major courses. Sociology is the study of institutions, groups, and social roles and how these connect to individual lives. It combines Scientific rigor grounded on systematic methodologies; theoretical sophistication demonstrated by powerful theories that challenge common social perceptions; Openness because it welcomes dialogue with other disciplines; Relevance because it facilitates the evaluation of opportunities and constraints in the societies in which we live.

In conjunction with Anthropology, Sociology deepens understanding of the cross-cultural links among societies and thus appreciation of cultural diversity.
