University of New England

Students in the Department of Sociology enjoy the campus's coastal location, the friendly and knowledgeable faculty, the small classes, and the variety of internship opportunities the programs provide.

Below are some links to profiles of some of our students and alumni, who share their experiences as students in the majoring in sociology and in psychology and social relations.

Marie Hubbard '10, Sociology
"Another reason I love UNE is because the education is phenomenal. I have learned so much since I arrived here, and for the first time I am actually enjoying school; my father is truly amazed about this development." Profile

Tyler Stratton '09, Sociology and Medical Biology
"As far as academics I am proud to say that over my four years at UNE I have found a new passion in sociology.  What I formerly sought in person-to-person interaction through physical therapy I have found to be a more generalized interest in people and how they interact." Profile.

Sarah Morrell, '08, Psychology & Social Relations Major
- "I feel very comfortable just walking into my professors' offices and talking about anything I need to, whether it be about a class, what I would want to do in the future or even what is happening in my life.  My professors have become my mentors." Profile.

Amanda Clements '07, Psychology and Social Relations Major
- "Although my goals changed over my time at UNE, my major was a perfect fit.  Each course  taught me more about individuals, society, the world, and perhaps more importantly, about myself.  Furthermore, UNE furthered my desire to learn."  Profile

- "The small size of UNE, allows for small classes, more attention in class, worthwhile class discussions, and personal attention outside of class. The professors at UNE are always available to meet with you for advising, help with course material, or just to say hi." Profile.

- "The professors actually care about the quality of their teaching, and it shows through the time they make to interact and aid students in all their future endeavors." Profile.

- "I credit the faculty and staff of UNE for my success. Each person I came in contact with helped me in every way they could. Both the Psychology and Sociology departments have some amazing faculty and should be recognized for pushing not only academic excellence in their students but personal excellence as well." Profile.

Crystal D. Hatch ‘02, Psychology & Social Relations Major
 - “I was able to take advantage of many resources at UNE, such as help from faculty, my advisor and career services. Everyone is always able to schedule time for you and they know you by face and name instead of as an ID number, which, in a new place, is very refreshing. At any point in my education at UNE I always felt as though I had someone to talk to either about courses, questions or concerns regarding the department, or personal problems.” Profile.
