Sociology Bachelor of Arts degree

Sociology provides valuable insights into the human experience and assists in the understanding of human behavior. Sociologists are interested in understanding how people live and interact, in learning how human groups of all kinds (families, Sport teams, religious groups, crowds, large bureaucratic organizations, etc.) operate in a wide variety of situations, and in assessing and evaluating how societies work. Sociology explores assumptions about people, their groups, and their societies. It carefully analyzes problem areas and evaluates possible solutions.
