The study of sociology provides an understanding of human social behavior and analysis of the social processes that unite as well as separate us. Sociologists study structures that organize society such as social institutions, race, social class and gender as well as processes that divide us such as crime and deviance. Both quantitative methods and qualitative methods of research are used in sociology.
Sociology courses contribute to the liberal education of students regardless of major. The major in sociology will prepare students for graduate work in sociology, social work, applied sociology or any field of study related to the sociological perspective. Majors are expected to develop writing and quantitative analysis skills that enable them to carry out research in topics in which they have an interest.
Graduates of the Berea College Department of Sociology are prepared for employment in a wide variety of applied sociology and social science careers.
