In the last thirty years we have witnessed  incredible social changes that have completely altered the character of our society.  One of those changes is the increasing need in institutions, agencies, firms and corporations for a highly qualified work force, flexible enough to change gears with the shifting times. We believe that sociology is a discipline that will assist the individual to better function within, guide, and predict the various and changing groups to which they are apart of or observing.  A degree in Sociology opens a large and diversified list of job opportunities as well as allowing you to join a prestigious list of famous individuals with Sociology degrees.

Sociology is the study of the issues, concepts, investigations, and results of individuals living together. While Sociology's focus is on groups, this focus should not exclude an emphasis on individuals. After all, individuals constitute groups and groups produce individuals. How can we study and fully understand one without the other? We can't...nor can we study them as if they were merely in competition with each other...that's too simple. Rather, as a study of people...by people...Sociology is a personal encounter with the Social Forces which shape our lives, especially those that affect our awareness (and ignorance) of how we create, maintain, and change those very Social Forces.  (David H. Kessel - The Sociology Shop Web Site).
