Sociology seeks to provide an understanding of the nature and organization of society and social behavior. The study of sociology affords students an opportunity to examine critically the broad range of human behavior as it is influenced by social groups and society.
Sociology majors often pursue careers in teaching. However, applied sociology is one of the fastest-growing areas of sociology. Applied sociologists work as consultants, researchers and managers for a wide range of organizations, businesses, schools and governmental agencies.
