The UVM Sociology Department includes preeminent sociology scholars and teachers working in the fore of their fields.
Our department is known on campus for strong teaching and a stimulating variety of courses in which we use the sociological perspective to analyze current social issues, including wealth and poverty, crime, deviance, gender, the social organization of the family, race relations, health care, and disasters. Several of our courses offer hands-on field experience with government and social service agencies.
If you are actively concerned about the world you live in and want to do something constructive and useful in it—whether in law, business, education, medicine, urban or rural planning—sociology provides our best means for understanding how "the system" works. Learn more about sociology at UVM.
