Students will develop a sophisticated understanding of social
life in human society. In the process of developing a distinct
sociological perspective, they will engage in different levels
of research and analysis of interpersonal and large group
behaviors across the world. Sociology Honors focuses on
special topics such as groups, culture, socialization, deviance
and inequalities (gender, social class, race, ethnicity), and
globalization. This class will explore these areas through
sociological readings and engaging in discussion, simulations,
written reflections and assessments. Students will be required
to complete ten community service hours in addition to a
traditional final exam. Upon completion of this course and
required service hours, students will have developed an
academic sociological mindset to examine the relationships
among cultural, economic, political, and social forces and
their impact on human behavior in an increasingly globalized
society.
