Sociology is the scientific study of human social life. Sociologists seek to describe and explain patterns of human activity. Some sociologists study small groups, while others study organizations, institutions, or entire societies. The findings from sociological research often challenge common sense explanations. The practice of becoming a sociology student will challenge your thinking and increase your skills. Sociology majors receive strong grounding in classical and contemporary social theory, quantitative and qualitative, methods of conducting social research, and techniques of analyzing social data. Encouraging student research is one of the hallmarks of sociology at Fresno State. Please consider joining us for the surprising study of social life.
