The Department of Sociology, Political Science and Native American Studies combines three scholarly disciplines, each with its separate faculty and academic programs. Four year programs in Sociology lead to either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The department offers minors in Political Science, Native American Studies and Sociology.

Sociology

Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes of human behavior. The sociologist's interests range from the intimate family to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, from race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, from work to sports. Few fields have such a broad scope.

Political Science

Political Science is the study of politics, government, and public affairs. It provides the student with knowledge and understanding of the theory, organization, functions, and processes of domestic and international systems and institutions of politics and government, including the role of individual and group relations.

Native American Studies

The Native American Studies Program has four primary goals: (1) to offer a comprehensive academic program in Native American Studies for both Native American and non-native students; (2) to provide increased awareness of and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage, knowledge, and contributions of Native Americans in the United States; (3) to contribute actively to increased multicultural awareness and appreciation at MSU Billings ; and (4) to cooperate with other MSU Billings programs in providing a supportive environment for Native American students.
