The field provides a systematic study of the structure of society, the changes that occur, and the consequences of change. Students with an interest in understanding how society influences people’s behavior would find sociology stimulating and rewarding. The curriculum prepares students for graduate study and provides for future employment. Sociology is of value to those who work with people. It forms an excellent background for those who are planning to enter areas of social services like youth services, family counseling, law, ministry, government services, teaching, policy making, population research, personnel management, industrial policies, marketing, criminal justice, etc.
