Sociology is the study of society, culture, social change, and the social causes and
consequences of human behavior. Sociologists examine institutions including the family,
economy, education, religion, politics, health, and the media. They explore divisions
by gender, race, and class, and social problems such as crime and poverty. A degree
in sociology prepares students to continue their education at a four-year college
or university and pursue a wide range of careers in research, education, program development,
and social services.
