SOCIOLOGY

Sociology is the study of group life. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies. The goal is to understand the characteristics, causes, and consequences of human behavior and social relationships in various kinds of groups and settings. Because human behavior is diverse, the field of sociology covers a range of subjects including collective behavior, marriage and family, stratification, race and ethnic relations, gender, aging, and religion, as well as others. The sociology program's strengths include the sociology of the family, applied research, social inequality, and theories of deviant behavior. In addition, the sociology program provides students opportunities to gain practical work experience through the form of internships and service learning.
