In spite of being a relatively young member of Bangabasi College, the Department of Sociology has been successfully able to carve a niche for itself in a short span of time since its inception in 2005. Initially it offered only the general course and the Honours Course was introduced since 2008. The department aims to cultivate analytical and critical thinking among its students and has continuously endeavored to incorporate the most contemporary debates in Sociology in its academic curriculum, often going beyond the prescribed syllabus of the University.
