Undergraduate Program in Sociology - Understanding and explaining society
Description of the program
The undergraduate program in Sociology leads to the conferment of a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, a first higher education degree qualifying for a profession. The primary goal is to prepare students for the various job possibilities as sociologists. The B.A. program includes fundamentals in sociological theory, the analysis of social structures as well as methods of social empirical research.
