SSWC provides interdisciplinary course offerings that allow you to interact with and learn from faculty and students in areas complementary to your major.  Additionally, each SSWC program requires a professional development class -- a capstone course -- that prepares Sociology, Social Work, and Criminology seniors for their career paths after graduation.

SSWC's faculty and staff want you to succeed in your career as a sociologist, social worker, or criminologist.
