As a sociologist, you will examine how society is organized and how everyday life is experienced. You can choose from among a variety of courses that focus on a range of social issues. These can be broad, such as anthropology, cultural studies, international development, and political economy. Or they can deal with addictions or criminology and deviance. You may be interested in the sociology of education or the environment. Or perhaps you want to delve into critical health and health care, disability, families, food, gender, queer studies, or race and ethnicity.
