What is sociology? Sociology, as an academic discipline, is the study of social life, focusing on society, the individual in society, and social change. Using various research methodologies, sociology offers descriptions as well as explanations for particular social realities, which may guide social policy initiatives and programs for social change. At The University of South Alabama, the sociology program concentrates on crime and deviance, environmental sociology, family and aging, gender and sexuality, medical sociology, religion, social psychology, social stratification and mobility, and work and labor markets. We strive to improve our social world within both local and global communities.
