Certificates

While faculty members in our department believe in "academic sociology," we have also established a committment to "public sociology," that is, using our discipline to create a better society. We seek to train students to use sociological theories and methods to engage in debates about public policy, to organize political activism, and to operate non-profit organizations seeking social change.

The Certificate in Nonprofit Management and Leadership is offered through American Humanics. The Department of Sociology anticipates offering a certificate in applied social research.
