Sociology

Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. It addresses the most challenging issues of our time – from family intimacy to organized crime; from education reform to corporate downsizing; from racial profiling to social justice; from waging war to making peace. Its insights and findings are utilized in crafting public policy and creating social programs.
