Sociology is the scientific study of society, social institutions and social relationships. Sociology examines how social structures, such as the workplace, political, economic, educational, and religious institutions affect individuals and how individuals influence these structures. In Sociology courses, you will explore how people’s socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexualities, and marital status affect their attitudes, behavior, and chances in life.
