Unique Study Opportunities

For seniors, training in analysis and presentation of original field research is required; no sociology student leaves Ripon without experience in computerized data analysis. The opportunity to develop and execute an original, individual research project is a valuable experience not available at many institutions. All students describe their results at a public Sociology Symposium on campus. Some have gone on to present their projects to professional associations of sociologists at state and national levels; over the past decade, several have received regional and national awards for their work.

Students are encouraged to extend themselves off-campus. Internships in a variety of social service and criminal justice agencies give advanced students an opportunity to apply their knowledge in the real world and gain job experience at the same time. Many sociology students also participate in such off-campus programs as Ripon’s Urban Studies Semester in Chicago, making experiential education an important part of their Ripon sociology.
