The undergraduate program curriculum emphasizes the theme of social justice. Through course work in the interest areas of criminal justice, political economy, social psychology and environmental issues and globalization, students develop an understanding of everyday social behavior as well as the structural factors that contribute to inequalities across various status hierarchies such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, age, and sexuality. Students also acquire an awareness of the competing perspectives that exist within societies, the ability to critically analyze social trends, and the tools to evaluate social policies.
