Mark Reese

“The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities.”

School of Social Sciences

Department of Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from families to societies. Sociologists examine how variables, such as culture, laws and customs, influence persons within society. Sociologists also investigate how people, through interaction, sustain or change society.

The knowledge acquired through sociology is useful in a number of careers, including human services, law enforcement, corrections, elementary and secondary teaching, business administration, public administration, law, and medicine, among others.

For the student who is planning a career as a professional sociologist, who teaches and conducts research; or a career as a consultant, a manager, or a policy analyst: an undergraduate major in sociology provides a good background for graduate work in sociology.
