What are the objectives of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work?
The primary objective of the DSASW is to assist its students in developing the skills necessary for a career, social service, or for advanced study. The students in this program learn sociology and how to function as a sociologist in the department’s capstone senior seminar. By the time they graduate, they learn to think as a sociologist. At UD, the sociology major can become involved in undergraduate research. There are also numerous service-learning and internship experiences that allow undergraduate students to test their career commitment at an early stage in their academic development. Faculty members work closely with students and encourage them to present their work in a variety of formats. The sociology major at UD not only gains valuable social science knowledge and perspective, but invaluable applied experience, and a greater insight on what it means to be human in contemporary society.
