BA Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of society and its institutions, organizations, and groups.  By observing the broad range of activities in society, and exploring topics such as social class, race, gender, deviance, family, religion, the workplace, and demographic trends, sociologists provide important information and perspectives on our social order and the causes and impacts of social change.  Sociology provides important information useful both to personal life and public policy decisions.  Sociology is among the broadest of the social sciences and is characterized by considerable pluralism in theoretical and methodological approaches, substantive specializations, and in units of analysis.
