- Description
- Sociology is the systematic study of society and social relations. Sociology majors develop the critical tools to theoretically and comparatively understand social trends and problems, grasp the intersection of self and society, and analyze empirical data to understand the social world. They read the works of major sociological thinkers, from the classical figures who founded the discipline to contemporary theorists of society. The major requires courses in research methods and sociological theory and offers courses on a range of topics including social inequality, collective behavior and social movements, art, business, media, culture, education, development and globalization.
