Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociology is an exciting and illuminating field of study that analyses and explains important matters in our personal lives, our communities, and the world.

Almost any aspect of how human beings gather together in groups, organizations, and societies can be studied within sociology. The sociological perspective is valued in business, health, social service, criminal justice, law, media, and government sectors of society.

Students who gain an expertise in sociology know how to think critically about human social life, and how to ask important questions.
They develop the skill of designing good social research projects, meticulously collecting and analyzing empirical data along with formulating and presenting their research findings. They also become adept at helping others understand the way the social world works and how it could be changed for the better.
