Welcome to UNA's Sociology Department

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Sociology Department faculty have received approval to offer courses through distance learning and the Internet so students may complete a Sociology major and/or minor both conveniently and cost-effectively from home.  Click on the "Sociology On-Line" hyperlink above to learn more about this exciting new direction for sociologically-minded students seeking their Bachelor's Degree.  Students interested in this learning environment should contact Dr. Craig T. Robertson at 256.765.4530 or e-mail him at ctrobertson@una.edu.

Why Sociology?

Today, our nation and state face problems and opportunities related to many areas of social life.  Whether attention is drawn to issues of community, crime and delinquency, social as well as criminal justice issues, gender and race relations, population, or our nation's elders, we aim to produce students that can work directly with those groups involved, ask the right questions of them and answer those questions with policy oriented research directed toward improving the social condition.

You're invited to treat this website (click HERE for a brief presentation about our department) as a reference source and to contact us with questions about your traditional or on-line sociology major or minor, academic advisor, and future.
