Department of Sociology

Message from Head of Sociology Department

Welcome to the Department of Sociology!

Sociology is the systematic study of human social interaction, making the analysis of society the most exciting social science discipline of our times. It offers a scientific approach to the understanding of the nature, organization, and functioning of human society. It examines human behavior, social relationships, social institutions, and their consequences. Sociology is interested in what holds society together and what causes social change. It uses various concepts, theories, and research methods to provide a distinct perspective called "sociological" for understanding many aspects of society and social problems. Sociology's subject matter is broad, as evident in its numerous sub-disciplines that focus on, for example, the family, ethnicity, culture and cultural diversity, crime and social control, work and organizations, health and illness, politics, urbanization, law, religion, gender, population and demography, mass media and communication, science and technology, globalization, migration, and tourism. Remember that the way to learn to analyze the world and the age you live in by looking at the past and the future from where you stand today is to know sociology. Many social, economic, political, and cultural problems today have a dimension that needs to be handled and analyzed from a sociological perspective.

Our dedicated young staff members are highly experienced and passionate about their respective areas of expertise. They are committed to providing a stimulating and supportive learning environment where you can engage in critical thinking, meaningful discussions, and hands-on experience. Alongside classroom instruction, we encourage students to actively participate in research projects, community engagement initiatives, and fieldwork to gain practical insights into the field.

Whether you are interested in pursuing a career in academia, research, social work, policy-making, or any other field related to sociology, our department is dedicated to helping you achieve your goal.

Once again, welcome to the Department of Sociology at Wachemo University. We look forward to embarking on this exciting educational journey with you!

Sincerely!
