International Students

The study of sociology helps people to gain insight into cultures — their own and those of other people — and eases the transition from one society to the next. Here at BC, courses in sociology:

  • teach skills fundamental to the discipline (Introductory Sociology, Research Methods, Statistics, Social Theory, etc.),
  • study American social phenomena (Shop Til You Drop, Deviance and Social Control, Mass Media and American Society, etc.),
  • explore global and international issues (Social Justice in a Global Context, African World Perspective, Sociology of HIV/AIDS: Global & US Experience of Epidemic, etc.).

We offer several of the social science core courses (numbered SOCY1001 through SOCY1999) required by BC, as well as cultural diversity courses. See our course schedule for a list of courses offered this fall and spring.

Application Procedures
