Sociology is the study of groups, societies, social processes, and institutions. To study these, the department provides a program that focuses on sociological methods (how we know) and sociological theory (how we explain). The curriculum provides students with a basis for understanding and participation in their own communities and enables them to pursue careers and occupations in professions related to sociological knowledge and training. DePaul offers both majors and minors for undergraduate students interested in sociology. Thirteen Sociology courses and a Capstone course are required to complete the Sociology major.
