Sociology is the study of the different patterns of relationships between people as they form groups, organizations, institutions, communities and nations, as well as the consequences of the structure and meaning attached to these forms. Sociology aims to both look for knowledge about the nature of the social world and use it to promote a society that is more peaceful, cooperative, egalitarian and empowering.
The Department of Sociology at DePaul University trains students to discover, learn, compare, criticize, and improve social systems and processes. After graduation, they become agents of change, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in their professional communities and personal lives.
