Sociologists study human behavior and what influences that behavior. It is a science
that studies the origins, organization, institutions, and development of human society.
Sociologists aim to understand how society works upon us and through us.
To understand society, sociologists may analyze a social institution, system, organization,
or a part of it and may study social class, social status, race, gender, sexual orientation,
social movements, criminal deviance and more.
Highlights

social science requirements as well as the state social science requirements for CORE 42.

personal instruction.
