Bachelor of Sociology at Oregon State University

Sociology is the study of human social behavior and sociologists examine interactions within and between groups and resulting social institutions. The undergraduate program in sociology provides a general analysis and broad understanding of human societies and culture for persons in all fields. Selecting courses around a topic or theme of interest adds meaning to one's education and strengthens the base of understanding from which one can pursue a career or further education. Two options are currently available for those interested – Crime and Justice, and Environmental and Natural Resource Sociology – although students can shape a custom theme such as international development or social policy.
