More details

The Sociology Club is a student activity group committed to increasing student awareness of the practice of sociology. The group helps students recognize the ways sociology enters into the everyday affairs of communities and the connections between ideas discussed in the classroom and society at large. The Sociology Club explores community affairs, organizes fundraisers, stages awareness seminars, and hosts panel discussions on topics of interest to the university and the community. All sociology majors are required to be members of the Sociology Club and are expected to be present at the first meeting.

Life After GCU: Private discussion area is located in Blackboard.

The Sister Edwarda Barry Award

Every year at Convocation, the Sister Edwarda Barry Award is given to a senior sociology major who has maintained a minimum grade point average of 3.6 in sociology and has been chosen by the Department of Sociology, Anthropology & Criminal Justice as the student who best represents the ideals of scholarship and service to the community.

Over the past several years, students graduating from sociology and anthropology studies have done very well in terms of job placement. Many of our students are currently engaged in fields as varied as social service, law enforcement/criminal justice, education, the law, and business, or have engaged in graduate study.
