The Sociology major promotes the systematic study of collective human behavior. Students are required to explore social processes within and among varied groups and societies; to analyze the beliefs and actions of individuals within the context of social norms, values, conventions, structures, institutions, and patterns of behavior; to develop a greater awareness of culture, race, and ethnicity and the sources of social conflict and misunderstanding; to explore methods for promoting group interaction and cooperation; to assess, evaluate, and explain social behavior, programs, and processes; to gather and interpret data in valid, reliable, and generalizable ways; and to think critically about social issues and develop ways to solve complex problems in a global community.
