The Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha is designed for students eager to understand the complex social forces that shape individual lives and collective human behaviour. You will explore foundational concepts in sociological theory, research methods, and social statistics, gaining critical insights into societal structures, inequalities, and cultural dynamics. This undergraduate degree provides a robust academic framework for analysing contemporary social issues and prepares you to engage thoughtfully with the challenges and opportunities of our increasingly diverse and interconnected world.
This full-time, on-campus programme is structured over four years, guiding you through a comprehensive curriculum that includes introductory and upper-level sociology courses, alongside essential components in anthropology, foreign languages, and general education requirements. You will develop practical skills through research methods and statistics labs, culminating in a senior thesis that allows you to investigate a topic of personal interest in depth. Upon graduation, you will possess the analytical and critical thinking abilities sought after in fields such as social work, public policy, market research, and community development.
