The society in which we live and work shapes us through its social organizations and institutions. Among these are families, government, churches, schools, businesses, labor unions, mass communications, and class system. Sociology is the study of these institutions and of the ways we interact with each other.

The Sociology degree at Cedarville University focuses on understanding social processes and institutions, and on how these influence individuals; in turn, how individuals also affect society. We study how social situations develop, how norms are formed and changed, how race, class, and gender overlap and intersect, and how sociologists can assist social processes. There are specific studies of social groups, social institutions and organizations. Study topics are integrated into a discussion of Christian principles in order to establish one’s moral obligation to society.

Career applications in Sociology range broadly as well, from social services to social analysis, from business to ministry. Sociologists are often employed for specific projects in research, analysis, and teaching. Applied Sociology is strongly emphasized in the major.
