Bachelor of Science in Sociology

Sociology faculty members at MSU are noted for being student-oriented. We are readily accessible and have an open-door policy. Interested students often have the opportunity to engage in research projects with faculty members. Many of our students have won regional and national awards for their papers and have been published in scholarly journals. In the last academic year, our number of majors has doubled.

The sociology program also has a very active service-oriented student organization, the Association for Social and Behavioral Sciences. Members spend time at Boys and Girls Clubs, The Teen Shelter, and raise money for charitable causes.
