Description:

Sociology is the study of how human behavior shapes and is shaped by larger cultural and social contexts. Sociology provides a lens to analyze, understand, and explain important matters in our personal lives and the world. Studying sociology prepares students to be broadly knowledgeable about sociological theories and methods, which equip them with the perspective and insight to be a critical observer, participant, and actor in the social world. After completing the program, students should be prepared for a range of entry-level positions in the public, private, or nonprofit sectors, or to undertake graduate study in an academic or professional program.
