Description:

Not offered after 22-23!

This course offers students a unique opportunity to compare Christian and humanistic perspectives of the field of sociology (the scientific study of society), and to consider major topics through the lens of a Biblical Worldview. Students will examine social problems in our increasingly connected world and learn how human relationships can influence their lives. The course considers how, in a complex world, beliefs, values, and behavior affect people in different social and cultural contexts. Major topics include culture, socialization, social structure and group behavior, deviance and crime, social stratification and class, race and ethnicity and gender.

Special Notes:

Sociology 200 (SOCE200) and Sociology 210 (SOCE210) can be taken at the same time, or at different times in any order. Neither course is a prerequisite for the other, however, if students are planning to take both sociology courses in different semesters, it is slightly encouraged that SOCE200 be taken first in order to help establish an over-arching view of the field.
