Sociology
Sociology is the study of society, including patterns of social relationships, social
interaction, and culture. Sociology studies the development, structure, functioning
and social problems of human society. Sociology majors learn to conduct research about
the social world. They gather and analyze data using both qualitative research methods
and statistical tools. Students who major in sociology write reports to convey research
findings and present their perspective on social issues.
