To Sociology
Course Descriptions
Sociology searches in disciplined ways for answers to
questions about human social behavior; questions regarding human identity,
social interaction, human relations, and group dynamics. It studies the
behavior and interaction of social groups and institutions, traces their
origin and growth, and analyzes the influence of group activities on both
group members and larger social units.
