Sociology (Social Work), B.A.

at St Francis College Brooklyn Campus

A Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology with a concentration in Social Work from St. Francis College provides the foundation for students to pursue graduate studies or careers in social work. The goal of a sociology degree is to prepare students to solve social problems, such as help eliminate homelessness, assist crime victims, reduce inequity, and create meaningful public policy.

As part of the program, students will identify function and interrelationships between the major components of the American criminal justice system, critically analyze key criminological theories, understand the relationship between theory and criminal justice policy, and be able to explain the impact of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and class on criminal justice outcomes.
