Sociology is a very broad field of study. Accordingly,
the sociology department at FHSU offers a broad academic program
through its BA degree requirements. Students may further focus their
studies by completing various
certificate programs. These include: Community Development,
Domestic Mediation, Grant Proposal Writing and Program Evaluation,
and Life Issues.
The Department of Sociology and Social Work is currently
developing a new and exciting Master's of Liberal Studies concentration
area in Cultural Studies.
