From intimate settings like the family and the neighborhood, to broader institutions like the church and the state, sociologists investigate the complex workings of human culture and society. They explore the way social constructs like race, ethnicity, and economic background shape behavior and relationships, they analyze large-scale social movements. If all that sounds fascinating to you, you just might be a sociologist at heart. As a sociology major at Oglethorpe, you'll take courses like The Family, The American Experience, The Sociology of Work and Occupations, The New American City, Film and Society, Elites and Inequality, Religion and Society.
