About the Area of Study
The discipline of Sociology is concerned with the
social and cultural life of humans. Sociologists
study the organization, functions, and problems
of human societies and groups. The dynamics of
human relationships are of primary interest along
with the analysis of culture, social systems,
socialization, social classes, poverty, minorities
and majorities, population, social institutions, and
social change.
Occupations in sociology/social work usually
require a bachelor’s or master’s degree. The
Sociology discipline at Lake Michigan College
provides you with the first two years of a
bachelor’s program. You should work with your
advisor to check with four-year colleges and
universities regarding specific requirements.
There is a 60-credit degree requirement needed
for graduation.
