Learning outcomes

Sociology focus is on the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and we are recognized for high-quality research and teaching on the unique social and cultural features of border regions. Within the overall border studies focus, the department has six emphases: migration, health, environment, education, criminology, and applications of social sciences for social justice.

Because of our regional focus, we also have topical strength in Latinos and Native Americans and ethnic and racial relations. Because our department has anthropologists, geographers, and sociologists, we encourage extensive interdisciplinary sharing, in courses, programs, research projects, and faculty collaborations.
