Sociology examines the structured study of social relationships, organizational systems, institutional frameworks, and societal transformation. Key areas of exploration involve the dynamic between individuals and their communities, societal stability versus evolution, origins and effects of social disparities, and how human experiences are socially constructed. Studying sociology enables recognition and interpretation of social trends, observing their evolution across time and contexts. It also enhances analytical skills by uncovering the societal frameworks influencing various aspects of human existence.
The bachelor of arts (B.A.) in sociology necessitates completing 120 credit hours. Learners can choose between a broad sociology track or specialize in criminology. Criminology investigates crime's origins, criminal patterns, and societal regulation of unlawful conduct. Degree specifications are available in the LSU General Catalog under 'Sociology B.A.' in the program listings.
Criminology explores criminal behavior's characteristics, root causes, crime trends, and methods for controlling offenses. This field analyzes crime's effects on populations. Those interested in pursuing justice may find this specialization appealing.
