Volunteer Abroad Program

Be the change you wish to see in the world...
volunteer abroad!

Students focus so much on academics and internships that they sometimes overlook the importance of giving back and the impact it can have on their resume.
If you’re considering graduate school, most admission committees place a strong emphasis on volunteering and employers always appreciate a well-rounded employee.
Enrolling in a volunteer abroad program allows you to:

Develop leadership skills
Earn college credit & service hours
Travel the world
Gain a global perspective

The Sociology Department at a Glance!

The Department of Sociology at the University of Maryland College Park is pleased to offer training in a rich sociological tradition grounded in theory and methodology for our Bachelors of Arts degree program. The undergraduate major requirements support our student learning outcomes:

1. Explain the sociological perspective, broadly defined, use sociological theory to explain social problems and issues, make theoretically informed recommendations to address current social problems, and demonstrate the utility of the sociological perspective for their lives.

2. Demonstrate the ability to interpret, locate, evaluate, generate and use sociologically relevant data to test hypotheses and draw evidence-based conclusions.

3. Integrate sociological theory, research, and data in order to assess various explanations of social phenomena and to assess social policy.

This program versatility and the rich experiential learning possibilities of the Washington metropolitan area combine to make the sociology curriculum valuable preparation for a career choice.
