Sociology, the study of human societies and social behavior, provides students opportunities to study the greater world and context in which they live. Students will look at this greater context by studying significant sociological contributions, social structure, social stratification, social groups, and social change among other topics. Students will also explore how this greater world and context impacts them as individuals now and in the future. Students will have the opportunity to develop a sociological imagination, which enables them to view their own lives within a larger social and historical context.
