Department of Sociology

Welcome

Welcome to the home page for the Department of Sociology at Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne. Sociology is the academic discipline that looks for the patterns of human behavior and seeks to discover the social forces that create these patterns. The discipline provides students with a lens through which to view society in order to uncover the patterns and the social forces which impact people's lives.

To help students gain a greater understanding of society, the people in society, and the interaction between an individual and the larger society, the department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. In addition to the undergraduate curriculum, the department also offers a Master of Arts degree in Sociological Practice.
