College Culture At Your Fingertips

Sociology ranges from the study of relationships in family units in the most primitive cultures to the research of large bureaucratic institutions in major industrialized nations. Sociology also studies more tangible measures of human behavior such as class or social status, social movements, and criminal deviance.

Through Coastline’s sociology classes – offered online and on location - you can examine a variety of social institutions, including family, religion, and education, and gain a better understanding of the roles played by social class, gender, and race in shaping social interactions.
