The sociology minor at Northeastern helps students to understand how to apply empirical evidence to address a wide range of social problems. Sociology minors can take courses in quantitative and qualitative research methods and theoretical and empirical reasoning. Elective courses draw on our faculty’s expertise in violence, family life, health and illness, the environment, technology, gender and sexuality, occupations and professions, social movements, the law, and social inequality. This minor can complement a wide range of majors throughout the university, providing students with a range of skills to better understand their place in complex social environments.
