Sociology

Sociology is the systemic study of social institutions, human groups, collective behavior, and social change. Within the sociology program, we examine the complexity of human life while exploring the interconnection of individuals, groups, society, and its institutions in relation to gender, sex, social class, race, ethnicity, and other demographic characteristics.

The program is designed to empower students in their understanding of sociology in preparation for transfer, development in a wide range of careers, or personal fulfillment.

Analysis of the social systems that shape our lives offers valuable insight into the ways in which we navigate life. Sociological thought offers a diverse range of methodologies to broaden understanding of the ways in which societal forces influence daily life, both domestically and globally.
