Sociology

Students gain real-world experience through community engaged learning in the Social Problems course and through internships. Located only minutes from Columbus, Capital students have the opportunity to network and intern with community partners. Students can further enrich their educational journey in coordination with faculty and the International Education Office, through study at the Washington Center in Washington, D.C., or study abroad.

Students are encouraged to see, study and understand their social world and to discover how the theories they learned about in their major can be useful tools in exploring social life, their life, and different societies and cultures. Capital’s Sociology program is grounded in the scientific study of society, students explore ethical approaches to knowledge formation, research, and professional pursuits and theoretical, methodological, and statistical literacy. The curriculum in Sociology provides students with essential foundations to engage in a range of careers and graduate study.

The dedicated Sociology faculty are determined to bring out the best in all of our students and introduce them to an in-depth understanding of their chosen field. Each student is paired with a faculty advisor that will help them navigate through the required classes and their time at Capital. As professionals, the faculty are able to make invaluable career introductions, write recommendation letters for graduate school, and mentor students as they pursue jobs in their chosen fields.
