Overview

SociologyWelcome to the world of sociology in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Santa Fe College. Here, we study the social interaction that makes the world go around. Our goal is to put students in touch with their sociological imagination -- the mindset that allows us to see the connection between our individual selves and our larger social worlds. In understanding this connection, students gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for themselves, others, the common heritage of all people and the diversity of the human population. Even more, students are empowered as they make choices to increase their sense of life meaning and value. Use the links below to find out more.
