Sociology - Princeton University

Sociology from Princeton University is a Campus Bachelor Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. Many people who major in sociology had never heard of it before they came to Princeton. These students learn that we offer a cutting edge undergraduate major for people interested in the social dimensions of politics, economics, history, psychology, and demography. We are also a department in which concentrators can deepen their understanding of globalization, and our program is designed so that students who wish to go abroad in the Spring of the junior year can do so. If you are a sociologist at Princeton, the world is your oyster. This is a department where you can integrate different approaches to knowledge. Sociology was founded in the 19th Century by a Frenchman, Auguste Comte, who said we were destined to be the Queen of the Sciences. He believed that this new field could produce knowledge about society based on scientific evidence. He regarded sociology as the last science to be developed - following physics, chemistry, and biology - but sociology , he believed, should contribute to the welfare of humanity by using science to understand and therefore control and predict human behavior.
