Beyond the Classroom
Experiential Learning
Our commitment to using data, theory, and discourse to improve the human experience requires us to engage with the world beyond the university. Through community engagement, experiential learning, and study abroad, we prepare our students to live and work as global citizens who possess the necessary tools and knowledge, as well as the humility, respect, empathy, and courage to change the world.
Explore international society and culture first-hand on education abroad trips. We offer summer, semester and year-long opportunities to a variety of locations across the world.
Working one-on-one with our faculty or in research groups, our students undertake independent research, publish their work, and present at conferences.
Our active Students for Non-Violence, Alpha Kappa Delta Sociology Honor Society, Sociological Club, and Sociology Graduate Student Organization host regular social gatherings, provide networking opportunities, and volunteer in the community.
Our students get real job experience with internships at police departments, probation and parole offices, crisis hotlines, law offices, free clinics, community programs, and government agencies.
