SOCI 201 - Introduction to Sociology

Credit(s): 3

INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY
Component: Lecture
This class develops “the ability to connect the most basic, intimate aspects of an individual’s life to seemingly impersonal and remote historical forces” (Conley 2015). Put simply, students will learn how to think like a sociologist, using social science to explore questions like why does social class shape life expectancy? Or how does gender affect earnings? By the end of the course, students should possess the tools to apply sociological perspectives to their everyday lives.
