Sociology is a social science that involves the study of social behavior and interactions in family units, groups, organizations, institutions, communities, and societies. Sociologists view the world through the lens of different cultures, social classes, and social groups.

The field trains students to use theoretical frameworks and scientific methods to examine questions about various aspects of social life such as workplace policies and corporate restructuring, the global economy, health and healthcare, religions and religious organizations, educational quality and achievement, technological changes, and multi-cultural communication.
