Our race, ethnicity, age, gender and social groups impact the things we do and how we view the world. Chemeketa’s sociology courses teach you how to reflect on our complex societies and better understand how external forces influence human behavior.
When you study people and the way they interact in groups, you get a clearer picture of how the world works. This skill is important in any career you choose as well as in your personal relationships. Sociology courses count toward humanities credits required for most transfer degrees and prepare you for higher-level sociology courses at a university.
