Sociology is the scientific study of social life. The exploration of social change. A lens into the complexity of causes and consequences of human behavior.
My sociology degree is foundational to the career path I have chosen. It was a sociology class where I awoke to the idea of moving beyond social work and into social change work. My professors made sociology a lived experience, and that made all the difference.
