The Sociology & Human Services Bachelors Degree at Colby Sawyer College is designed for students passionate about understanding the intricate relationship between individuals and society. You will explore the societal forces that shape human behaviour, from cultural influences and social structures to the root causes of inequality and injustice. This undergraduate program is ideal if you are driven to critically analyse social issues and aspire to contribute positively to communities. You will gain a robust theoretical background and practical insights into why people act, think, and feel the way they do within collective settings.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, this program integrates academic coursework with hands-on experience through internships and service learning. You will have opportunities to conduct collaborative research alongside faculty, analyse data, and present your findings at professional events. A significant Capstone project in your final year allows you to independently investigate a topic of interest. Graduates are well-prepared for further study, such as a Master of Social Work (MSW), or for direct entry into careers in social work, community advocacy, and various sectors including education, criminal justice, and healthcare.
