It’s easy to take your Mount sociology major beyond the classroom! Mount sociology students have presented papers based on their research at the annual meetings of the Southern Sociological Society, the Eastern Sociological Association and the Mid-South Sociological Association. They’ve also presented applied research reports to the Emmitsburg Town Council as part of our participation in the Emmitsburg Needs Assessment; to the Frederick County Commissioners as part of the Frederick County Land Use Study; and to the Mount on a study of college student binge drinking.

In addition, develop your leadership skills and professional connections through several department-sponsored societies and clubs. You’ll find on campus:

• Alpha Kappa Delta—International Sociology Honor Society
• Sociology Club
• Criminal Justice Student Association
• Training in research methods and opportunities to apply those skills in research conducted by the Mount’s Delaney Center for Public Sector Information
• Opportunities to participate in faculty research
• Service learning options with most courses
