Sociology's subject matter ranges from the study of dating and marriage to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, from the study of race relations and the inequalities of social class to the shared beliefs of common cultures. Sociology offers something for every serious student who wishes to embrace its perspective, methodology, and theoretical orientation. Sociology is a popular major for students planning futures in such professions as law, business, education, architecture, politics, public administration, and a myriad of other professions. Sociology provides a rich fund of knowledge, a new way of looking at everyday phenomena, and a range of research techniques which can be applied to the profession the student pursues in life.
