Sociology

Department of Behavioral Science

 

Sociology provides an educational background relative to the nature and causes of social problems. It aids students in understanding social institutions, group life, and the influence of environmental factors upon the individual and society. Theoretical bases of sociology are integrated throughout the major. Note: Introduction to Sociology (SOC 1003) is the general prerequisite course for all courses in sociology, but the student must meet the additional prerequisites, if they are required as indicated in the course description section of this catalog. Introduction to Sociology also meets the requirements for General Education and, thus, will be counted towards those hours for degree check purposes.
