Sociology Degree - The Study of People and Society

Fascinated by how human groups function? Then a sociology degree may be for you.  Sociology is the systematic study of the  development,  interaction, and behavior of organized human groups-from family units, to cities, to large political systems and nations.

• Social Inequality (race, class and gender)
