Sociology

Are you fascinated by human behavior and society, and want to understand what drives people? Sociology majors are curious about the world 鈥� and its people 鈥� around us. With a sociology degree, you鈥檙e able to initiate change from a top-down level, and by understanding policy issues and the ways they affect individuals and societies as a whole, you鈥檙e better able to understand yourself.

We study to understand how human beings relate to each other. Using theoretical models and carefully gathered data, sociologists seek to explain how and why we create families, build communities, engage in work, develop places to worship and bring about social and cultural change.

Social Work

When you see others struggling, is your first thought, 鈥淗ow can I help?鈥� If so, a social work degree may be for you. Perhaps you鈥檒l practice on a macro level 鈥� where you鈥檒l initiate change from the top, working on policy and with communities, cities or major institutions. Or you might choose to work directly with individuals, families or groups. In any level of practice, you鈥檙e getting the chance to establish meaningful change. At 换妻社区, students learn to work with all levels through our generalist-practice course of study.

Like sociology, we study human behavior, but our emphasis is on changing and improving lives so that people can reach their full potential.
