Current Students

Given that sociology is the study of social life, why not engage with the life that is all around you? Put sociology into action by taking part in your department, your campus, and your community. The Sociology internship program can give you academic credit for volunteer work in the communities of the greater Sacramento region.

The Sociology faculty are perpetually implementing ideas for new courses. Check the current class schedule for this semester's course.

The AKD Sociology Club is a place to gather and discuss sociology, or just to enjoy the company of like-minded people. Anthropon Katamanthanein Diakonesein: "To investigate humanity for the purpose of service."

What I learned from studying Sociology at CSUS

"NEVER EVER take polls seriously.. there are always someone manipulating the numbers somewhere behind the scenes."- Stephanie Pothier Johnson

"The most important thing that I learned during my studies with the sociology department was the use of statistical analysis software and statistical analysis techniques. In the area of government in which I work, which is moving towards performance measures and performance budgeting, statistical data analysis is key."- Jason Summers

"To be inquisitive."- Mary Jo Ortiz
