Understand a Functioning Human Society
Societies and groups go hand in hand with individuals. Individuals are deeply impacted by the societies and groups in their midst, and likewise, individuals have a profoundly significant role in influencing groups and societies. HU’s sociology program strongly emphasizes this reality in order to help students learn about social problems and solutions, social change, social diversity, and social institutions through a Christian worldview.
At Huntington University, our Christian liberal arts setting puts us in a unique place to explore every aspect of sociology. Get ready to grow in:
- assessing multiple perspectives
- articulating the role of faith in society
- exploring social groups in a personal way
- facilitating societal change
- understanding cultures and societies
- empathizing with humanity

Whether you pursue law enforcement, advocacy, education, or field studies, sociology will equip you with tools and techniques to help your community thrive.
