Sociology

Sociology is the study of society and its parts, and the social sources of human behavior. Sociologists study the structure of societies, groups, organizations, and social institutions and how people interact in these settings. The subject matter of sociology encompasses the family, culture, race and ethnicity, gender, stratification, work, deviance and crime, mass media, social theory, health care, social welfare, religion and legal institutions.

Sociology teaches a distinctive way of looking at the social world and offers unique insights into social behavior. A key aspect of the sociological perspective at MidAmerica Nazarene University is the integration of a Christ-centered foundation.
