Sociology at Ozarks

Major

The sociologist . . . is a person intensively, endlessly, shamelessly interested in the doings of men. His natural habitat is all the human gathering places of the world. . . . His consuming interest remains in the world of men, their institutions, their history, their passions. . . . The fascination of Sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives.
----Peter L. Berger, Invitation to Sociology

Sociology is the study of groups of persons. Social psychology is the study of relationships of a person to groups of persons. Anthropology is the study of our man-made inheritance. The sociologist, as a scientist, collects data systematically, develops ideas about relationships, and produces guidelines for predicting human activity. Sociology may provide a foundation for graduate study in theology, political science, the medical sciences, the arts, the humanities, and the service professions, as well as graduate study in sociology.

Prospective students are encouraged to view Ozarks suggested eight semester plans before pursuing a degree in Sociology.
