Sociology (BS)
Sociology is the study of social life, social change and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, societies and how people interact within these contexts.
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Sociology introduces students to the scientific study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Courses address social groups, social interaction and the institutional processes necessary to understand patterns of behavior, social inequality, social change and resistance, and how social systems work.
- Sociology students have the opportunity to join the Taylor Sociology Club, a student organization which provides students the opportunity to pursue their sociological interests and promotes an understanding of the discipline of sociology.
- NC State also has an active chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta, an international sociology honor society that serves to promote academic scholarship and interest in the sociological understanding of human life.
