Program Description Sociology is concerned with the scientific study of human behavior in groups. Since a group consists of two or more communicating people, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the briefest of two person interactions to the most enduring features of culture and world civilizations. The unique insight of sociology is that we are what we are largely because of our social experience with others as those experiences are shaped by our cultural settings. Sociologists use various methodological and statistical techniques to study, describe and explain human behavior in different social settings. The Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology is a general academic degree in sociology. Curriculum in the department addresses issues at both the macro-structural level as well as the micro-interactional level, such as immigration, family, and deviance.
