Understand human behavior and examine the social and cultural forces that shape our lives.
Study social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. You’ll learn to investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Sociology majors can tailor their degree with concentrations in family studies or criminal justice for a wider variety of career choices.
Our faculty are dedicated teachers with broad experience in the field. They are accessible to students and work diligently to make courses stimulating and relevant. Students have interned at Bethany Children’s Home, Dauphin County Services for Children and Youth, Lebanon County Adult Probation, and the Pennsylvania State Government.
“LVC’s Sociology Department prepared me well for a career in human services. Through study abroad and internships, along with encouragement from my professors to pursue my master’s of social work, I feel right at home in my chosen profession. I owe a great deal to LVC.”
