Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
The subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, and from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture. In fact, few fields have such a broad scope and relevance. Develop interests in and appreciation for the varied social processes that influence human life. Provide a climate and curriculum within which a student may prepare for graduate study leading to careers in higher education or research. You should consider the sociology major if you are interested in virtually every aspect of human behavior, studying and understanding social life, and research.
