Sociology, B.A.
Sociology is the study of people – how we think, act and shape the world around us. At Whitworth, studying sociology is a shared journey between students and faculty who are accessible, down to earth and genuinely invested in your growth. Together, you will explore what truly matters in your personal and social life, guided by Christian perspectives that encourage reflection, compassion and meaningful engagement.
In the Whitworth Sociology Department, you’ll build practical skills that translate directly into a wide range of careers. You’ll learn how to interpret decision-making data, analyze social problems and identify the patterns that shape human behavior – tools that prepare you for fields like social work, community development, nonprofit leadership, human resources, education, public health and graduate study. It’s an education designed to help you understand people and use that understanding to make a real impact in the world.
