Sociology: Human Services  Sociology is not just about studying
society, but improving upon it for all concerned. The human
services concentration allows students to better understand how
various institutions within society differentially impact
various groups and to develop skills to improve the outcomes for
everyone. Students learn about the development of public policy,
the importance of advocacy and the role of social work in
society, focusing specifically on how these processes and
institutions impact the most marginal members of society.
Service to others is at the heart of Emmanuel's mission and the
College's urban location in the heart of the Longwood Medical
and Academic Area provides students with hands-on opportunities
to explore human services careers in social work, health care
and public advocacy.
