社会学 is the scientific study of society, social institutions and social relationships. 社会学 examines how social structures, such as the workplace, political, economic, educational, and religious institutions affect individuals and how individuals influence 这些结构. In 社会学 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.

Sociologists organize their knowledge in theories which they both create and test through social research, which is aimed at understanding important social issues and 问题. Using this research as a basis, you will study the patterns of behavior that characterize human interaction and seek to discover the main forces that unite and separate social groups and to determine the conditions that transform social life.

Each semester we offer a variety of 社会学 courses that can be taken individually or as part of a planned program leading to a degree and/or transfer. 使用链接 below to see full course descriptions and our current offerings.
