The UNC Department of Sociology is dedicated to the academic understanding and analysis of social, cultural and institutional aspects of human life. At its core, the sociological mission is rooted in social theory and the scientific method; we strive to empower students with the theoretical and analytical skills necessary to understand and evaluate an increasingly complex society, both globally and locally. We prepare students for work in both public and private sectors of the economy including the areas of education, health, government, social welfare, marketing, and research. In addition, our department is dedicated to building sociological knowledge and skills that are applicable to advanced academic and post-graduate degrees.
