Bachelor of Arts in Sociology - Social Justice

University at Buffalo - SUNY

This interdisciplinary concentration blends Sociology courses with courses in the departments of Africana and American Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Global Gender and Sexuality Studies, providing students with an opportunity to explore intersectional understandings of identity, forms of institutional and structural inequity, and the relationship between intellectual work and movements for social change. The program also includes an internship course so students can apply their knowledge while gaining hands-on social justice experience.

What will I learn?

As a sociology major, you’ll build your critical thinking skills by studying thought-provoking subjects such as sustainability, families, gender, race, ethnicity and aging.

While there are some required courses (typically in basic research methods and statistics), most of your classes will be courses that you can choose based on your interests. Which means you’ll be able to take classes in a wide range of topics that help you gain a deeper understanding of society.
