Ascent Dual Pathway: Sociology + Psychology

The Climb of Self and Society

Ascent Dual Major: Sociology + Psychology is like climbing a mountain with two vital lenses: one looks inward at the mind (Psychology), the other outward at the world (Sociology).

• The Psychology path is the trail of internal terrain—thoughts, emotions, development, trauma, cognition.
• The Sociology path follows the external landscape—culture, inequality, institutions, identity, systems.

Together, they form a dual ascent:

• One step in the personal
• One step in the collective

The summit? A vantage point where students see how the self-shapes society, and society shapes the self.
