  Welcome to the Department of Sociology's website. Here you will find information on our people and programs. Department members are actively engaged in research in sociology and criminology while maintaining a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate education.
Historically, comparative sociology (often focusing on Latin America) and criminology have been major strengths of the Department. This is still the case, but Department interests are also wider ranging: gender, work and organizations, social movements, race and ethnicity, the Southwest, medical sociology, and social welfare are areas of great faculty and student interest. A variety of other areas are represented among our faculty and students as well.
 
The Department offers graduate (MA and PhD) degrees in sociology, undergraduate (BA) degrees in sociology and criminology, and an undergraduate minor in social welfare.
