Sociology Helps Advance University Interdisciplinary Initiatives for Inclusivity

Central’s BA in Sociology prepares students to become thoughtful, engaged, and responsible citizens in an interdependent and ever-changing world.
The program provides students with a firm understanding of the complex social structures and processes that connect their private lives and experiences to their present society, as well as to the multi-varied characteristics of a global society. This process involves developing the capacities for discussing social problems, locating them within general sociological paradigms, and evaluating solutions based on empirical analysis, established research, and the diverse needs, interests, and identities of affected communities.
