Sociology and Anthropology - Looking beyond the surface

The Sociology Department at Carroll provides students with the analytic tools for looking beyond the surface of everyday perception to identify a deeper meaning that constitutes the real world. Future law enforcement officers, probation officers, youth home workers, physical therapists and lawyers will benefit from their Carroll education because of the combination of theory and practical hands-on experience.

Specialized training

Sociology students can chose between three tracks: Criminal/Juvenile Justice, Human Services, and Urban-Rural Planning. These areas introduce students to specialties within the discipline, which in turn identifies employment and graduate study opportunities. Students receive the sociology training that is necessary to work competently in many areas, while receiving specialized training in a specific aspect of sociology.
