Department of Sociology
Catholic University of America
Sociology is about the study of individuals and societies. Founded in 1895, Catholic University's Sociology Department was the first at an American Catholic university, and is today one of the oldest sociology departments in the United States. We offer courses of study leading to the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with concentrations in Crime and Justice Studies; Global and Comparative Processes; or Public Policy Analysis. We also offer the Master of Arts in Sociology, and a 5-year combined B.A./M.A. program. Our courses cover such Catholic social justice topics as crime and terrorism, race, ethnicity and gender, culture and religion, inequality and social change, migration, and international development.
