Sociology 4800 Capstone offers opportunities for students to integrate knowledge from previous sociology courses, develop research skills to answer sociological questions, understand and become engaged with the research process, and help envision advanced study and job opportunities after graduation. Near the end of the semester, students graphically present their research findings at local, regional, or national undergraduate research conferences.

McNair scholars attend 25th annual Undergraduate Research Conference in Niagara Falls
“I’m so thankful for McNair,” said fourth-year student Kyle Thompson, a sociology major with a minor in psychology who came to BGSU from Pickering Central High School. “A lot of people don’t really get the opportunity to do research and present it. It’s been so supportive and it’s helped me find opportunities, and also to find the passion in myself. It’s been interesting to discover the new dimensions and see it all unfold.”
