Sociology is concerned with the study of human societies, groups, and social life. The program offers substantive training in five areas of specialization: family and life course; inequality: race, class, and gender; law, crime, and deviance; organizations, work, and markets; and political sociology and social movements. Methodological training is available in historical and comparative research, survey research, network analysis, advanced statistical analysis, and qualitative research.
