Bachelor of Arts - Sociology

Sociologists study social interaction, social group and societies. Sociology addresses topics like dating relationships, organized crime, race relations, mental health, work organizations, social mobility, world systems and more. Sociology students develop substantive insight into unique questions like why do some people “get ahead” and others not, how does social media impact our self-presentation and what do changing definitions of sexuality and gender portend for our lives.
