<p>What are some good schools in California with strong sociology departments? My preference is specifically for a California State University but I wouldn't mind advice on UC sociology programs.</p>
<p>Go to the web site of some colleges to count the sociology dept. faculty members and the number of courses in the course catalog. This will give some ideas.</p>
<p>For liberal-arts majors my preference would be schools with smaller classes so that you get some individual attention instead of lectures with hundreds of students lower-division and 50-100 upper-division. But this is a personal decision. If you attend a UC or CSU school and are a self-motivated person, if you’re willing to make the effort to attend office hours, join club(s) related to your interests, look for internships, etc. then you can have a good experience.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley has the #1 rated Soc graduate program in the country per US News. It is also one of UCB’s largest undergrad majors. Great offerings.</p>
<p>thanks all, does anyone else have any insight on this? please do share.</p>
