Ground your actions in education
Do you wonder how you can serve your community and make the world a better place? A degree in Sociology & Human Services is a great place to start! Led by a dynamic faculty, FLC’s Sociology Department blends internships with writing and theory courses to hone the skills you’ll need to work for the welfare of others.
"Through experiential learning, FLC’s Sociology major provides students with real-world skills that will help them make sense of the complex relationship between personal and social life, while grounding their education in action."
The block internship program integrates 15 credits of academic sociology with an intensive community placement in a regional human service agency or grassroots organization. You’ll work closely with an assigned faculty mentor. Students are placed according to their interests in community based non-profit and grassroots organizations whose mission is to address social and/or environmental problems within the Four Corners region. The Sociology department has developed long-term partnerships with roughly 75 regional, community-based organizations that regularly serve as placement sites for participating students.
