The Undergraduate Program in the Department of Sociology is a vibrant and diverse community of 400-500 majors and minors who are passionate about investigating social issues using empirical evidence and acting as agents of social change. We ask societal questions like how does race affect your treatment in the criminal justice system or how does geographic location affect the health of a population and use various data sources & sociological research methods to investigate these issues. The department offers a variety of course options, from dynamic larger classes that cover a wide exposure to the discipline to interactive smaller classes where students delve deeply into specific topics of interest. Students in our program pursue learning opportunities outside of the classroom, such as volunteer work at community sites (SOC 225), faculty and doctoral student research assistance (SOC 394), study abroad, undergraduate speakers series events, and independent research and writing through our Honors Program in Sociology. We invite you to browse through our website (https://lsa.umich.edu/soc/undergraduates.html) and reach out to us at socadvisor@umich.edu if you have questions about our majors, minors, courses, or department opportunities. Thank you for visiting Sociology at the University of Michigan!
