What the college says

Sociology is the study of human societies, considering what makes society the way that it is and how humans influence society itself; it is a highly academic discipline. Sociologists are really interested in studying social conditions, such as capitalism; as well as social problems, like violent crime, delinquency and educational failure. Sociologists study the social world by using methodologies, they focus on social trends and statistics and many have theoretical perspectives about why the social world is the way that it is, such as Marxists and Feminists. Sociology is for you, if you are interested in studying the complexities of our society.
