社会学 is an exciting and illuminating field of study that analyzes and explains important matters in our personal lives, 我们的社区和世界. 社会学的主题是多样的, 从犯罪到宗教, 从家庭到国家, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common 文化 and from social stability to radical change in whole societies. Unifying the study of these diverse subjects of study is sociology’s purpose of understanding how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures.

在个人层面上, sociology investigates the social causes and consequences of such things as romantic love, 种族和性别认同, 家庭冲突, 越轨行为, 老龄化与宗教信仰. 在社会层面上, 社会学研究和解释犯罪和法律等问题, 贫穷与财富, 偏见和歧视, 学校和教育, 企业, 城市社区和社会运动. 在全球层面上, 社会学研究人口增长和移民等现象, 战争与和平以及经济发展. Sociologists emphasize the careful gathering and analysis of evidence about social life to develop and enrich our understanding of key social processes.

社会学 can also be added as a second major or minor to related fields, 比如刑事司法专业, Psychology and Psychological Services and the minor in Political Science.
