We believe that intellectual life should be both serious and fun. The sociology program provides training in essential principles and standards of scientific and statistical research, but it also encourages original, creative thinking. Sociology is about making connections and looking past the surface.
The Hamilton program produces a senior fellow — a top honors student who undertakes a single project for his or her entire senior year — every other year, on average. Our senior fellows reflect the innovative curriculum and high standards of the sociology program as a whole.
The College's emphasis on strong communication skills is underscored by the sociology faculty's ongoing commitment to publishing in a variety of fields. Faculty members have written and edited eight books, ranging from a highly regarded textbook to award-winning studies of medical ethics and Olympic athletes to works on social inequality, sexuality and religion.
Many students have the opportunity to work on one of sociology's front lines by studying public opinion polling and conducting surveys in collaboration with the locally based Zogby International polling organization. Recent surveys, widely reported in the national media, have covered such topics as gun control, gay rights, Muslims in America and patriotism.
Hamilton's program offers training for researchers, but another key mission is to encourage a high level of analytical, critical and creative thinking. These are abilities that produce leaders in a wide range of fields. Recent sociology graduates have found success in health care, law, entertainment finance, educational psychology, labor relations, social work and teaching at a variety of levels.
