Sociology examines human behavior, beliefs, and identity within social interactions, relationships, institutions, and transformations. Discover how society influences individuals and how we, in turn, shape society, understand the origins of the modern world, and explore potential future developments. Introductory sociology units will familiarize you with fundamental concepts for interpreting social life and change, while teaching research methods for conducting your own studies. These core principles are expanded in advanced years through specialized topics like religion, mass media, sports, environmental concerns, and social movements. Central themes include inequality, class, gender, power, deviance, transformation, agency, and identity. You'll apply sociological thinking both in academic settings and real-world contexts, developing skills through essays, reports, group presentations, visual projects, debates, and digital media. Graduating with this major provides essential knowledge for navigating and contributing to an increasingly interconnected world.
