Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since human behavior is shaped by social factors, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports. In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance for research, theory, and application of knowledge. Sociologists provide many distinctive perspectives on the world, generating new ideas and critiquing the old. The field also offers a range of research techniques that can be applied to virtually any aspect of social life: street crime and delinquency, corporate downsizing, how people express emotions, welfare or education reform, how families differ and flourish, or problems of peace and war.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $360  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $3680  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
