Sociology explores social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists study people, their organizations, and their cultures.
The organizations include families, tribes, communities, and societies, along with a variety of social, religious, political, and business institutions. The study of culture examines language, beliefs, and knowledge in societies. Many students work up to 20 hours per week. Some find employment in campus labs and some junior and senior students obtain teaching or research assistantships. Most of our students obtain summer jobs that make use of their training and interests.
