An area of concentration in Sociology involves the scientific study of patterns of human behavior and society.

You can explore areas such as families, experiences of racial and ethnic groups, media, organizations, social inequality, women and feminism, sexuality, corporate culture, human emotions, welfare or education reform, human rights, and issues regarding peace and war.
