Sociology
About
Through our Sociology Area of Study, you will explore various components of society and the interactions between people and groups. You will learn the social processes that influence how individuals think and act, they can better understand the behavior patterns and motivations of people. We offer a wide variety of courses, including Introduction to Urban Studies, Race and Ethnic Relations, and Anthropology.
There is so much you can do with a degree in Sociology. Social services, criminal justice, business, social science research, human resources, education, and social work are just a few of the fields you will have the opportunity to work in.
If you continue your education at the graduate level you can enroll in law school, business administration, social work, and public policy graduate programs, as well as continue to pursue your Ph.D. in Sociology.
