Welcome to the Sociology Department
Sociology explores how societies are organized, how social change occurs, and the complex relationships between individuals and the larger social structures they inhabit. The Department of Sociology at DePaul University equips students with the skills to understand, analyze, and improve the social world. Graduates emerge as agents of positive change with the tools to help address complex societal issues in both their professional and personal lives.
