Sociology
Sociology examines how social factors affect both behavior and the potential consequences
of that behavior. It seeks to uncover the existence of social patterns, explain how
social patterns come to be and explore the consequences of such patterns for different
individuals, groups and society at large. Sociology coursework at Collin College is
designed to provide you with essential life skills and a deeper understanding of yourself
and others. Critical thinking skills and a global perspective – attributes that will
benefit you regardless of your major – are strongly emphasized.
