Sociology, Minor

A sociology minor is an excellent supplement to any degree program. It is, however, particularly relevant for students interested in people-focused careers. Majors in psychology, business, health sciences, nursing, professional security or education may find a deeper understanding of human social lives beneficial to their educational pursuits and careers. Students interested in pursuing a Minor in Sociology should consult with Dr. Max Herman at mherman2@njcu.edu or 201-200-2280 for advisement.
