Sociology
Sociology
Sociology involves the study of human behavior and the social lives of people, groups, and societies. If you are interested in learning more about social justice, working with diverse groups of people, and understanding how people interact and how society is organized in ways that can both support and suppress its own citizens, you may want to major in sociology.
