Sociology

Programs Offered:

B.A. or B.S. Sociology

Sociologists study the formation and interaction of human groups and the individual's relationship to social groups. Many focus on the role of various groups in socialization of the individual into norms, values and behaviors or on the development of major social institutions and how they interact with each other and impact socialization across time and cultures. Sociologists use a theoretical framework that examines how institutions and groups function for the success of a society, the conflicts that may be inherent in group interaction and how human beings can change institutions and their relationship. At 老司机传媒, students can choose to either take a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology or a Bachelor of Science in Sociology.
