Sociology

Illuminate important matters in our personal lives, our communities and the world.

Home Academics Programs Sociology
Department of Behavioral Sciences

Sociology is an exciting and illuminating field of study that analyzes and explains important matters in our personal lives, our communities and the world. Sociology鈥檚 subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture and from social stability to radical change in whole societies. Unifying the study of these diverse subjects of study is sociology鈥檚 purpose of understanding how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures.

Sociology can also be added as a second major or minor to related fields, such as majors in Criminal Justice, Psychology and Psychological Services and the minor in Political Science.

Why Study Sociology?

At the personal level, sociology investigates the social causes and consequences of such things as romantic love, racial and gender identity, family conflict, deviant behavior, aging and religious faith. At the societal level, sociology examines and explains matters like crime and law, poverty and wealth, prejudice and discrimination, schools and education, business firms, urban community and social movements. At the global level, sociology studies such phenomena as population growth and migration, war and peace and economic development. Sociologists emphasize the careful gathering and analysis of evidence about social life to develop and enrich our understanding of key social processes.
