The Sociology Department at Mount Saint Mary’s University applies a human rights framework as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations (1948) to examine social behavior in many contexts — including the family, the community and the workplace at the local, regional, national and global levels. 

Human rights principles of dignity and equality for all human beings are infused throughout the curriculum. This value-added dimension — which is a unique feature of our program — puts you on the cutting-edge of local and global social issues, while preparing you for excellent careers in such fields as criminology, social services, medical social work, communications, family or school counselors and more. 

Our department faculty get to know all our students individually, mentoring them throughout their academic experience at the Mount. We will help you explore career options, succeed in research work and find the right internships that provide valuable hands-on experience and networking.
