Sociology is the study of the social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. In this major, you will learn technical and analytic skills, gain a global perspective, and explore the complexity of the causes and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists study a broad array of topics including the intimate family, organized crime, politics, race, gender and social class. You will be prepared to help make a positive difference in the world through investigative research and through identifying social trends.
The Sociology major at the University of Nebraska at Kearney:
"The sociology program has changed my perspective and made me a critical thinker, especially when it comes to trying to understand other people’s views, cultures and lifestyles." "The program has allowed me to open my eyes to the diversity of the people around me and has given me a desire to break down stereotypes in my own life and in society."
