4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Long Island University Post

Program Overview

The sociology major is designed to cultivate in students an appreciation for the sociological imagination, or the quality of mind essential to grasp the interplay of individual and society, of biography and history, of self and the world, as C. Wright Mills said. As a sociology major, you will examine how humans interact, how they organize together and form enduring social institutions, and how human lives and societies change over time. You will examine institutions such as the family, government, economy, religion, education and the media. You will study in detail the issues that impact us daily as individuals and as a society, and consider the ways we may respond. You may find yourself in class discussions on such diverse topics as the decline of the middle class, the role of gender in sexual experiences, educational inequalities, family conflict, disparities in healthcare, genocide, racism in the media, and the changing demographics of urban and suburban communities.
