What the college says

Sociology is the study of people in society. Sociology looks at how our identities and behaviour are shaped by society and by social groups such as our families, friends, schools and mass media. Sociology also tries to explain how and why society is changing. Studying sociology will give students a better understanding of the society we live in and the social influences shaping our lives. Sociology encourages students to look at the social world in a critical way and to answer questions about the society based on evidence rather than just opinions.
