MISSION STATEMENT
In light of God’s deep love for “the least of these,” the Sociology faculty seeks to enhance students’ commitments to the socially disadvantaged and to enable students to become effective agents of transformation consistent with a Christian worldview. We do this by developing critical thinking about change, encouraging student research or service-learning opportunities, offering internships with nongovernmental organizations, and promoting an understanding of human institutions, cultural diversity, and social interaction. Through disciplined scholarship, effective teaching, and experiential education, we prepare our students to not only competently interpret local, national, and global patterns of change and its impact on people’s lives, but also to effectively engage in social change for people’s benefit.
