In Their Words

The LVC Sociology Program deepened my understanding of the social forces that shape the world by introducing me to new theoretical paradigms and methodological approaches. The professors equipped me with the resources needed to become a well-rounded thinker through one-on-one attention, group projects, classroom discussions, and opportunities to conduct research.
