Society, Gain High-Demand Career Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is American society dividing sharply along political lines? What changes are occurring in social norms that define acceptable behavior? How do social factors influence the development of gender identity? When are protests for social justice effective?<br><br>Questions like these lie at the heart of sociology. Sociology examines how human groups, communities, and societies are structured and function. It also explores how our everyday behavior is shaped by social norms and roles. Sociology explores how individuals acting together shape society and how society influences individuals and social interaction.<br><br>If you\u2019re a curious person who wants to help change society, the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology program at UM-Flint is for you. Offering a blend of practical research skills and cultural knowledge, the program allows you to explore your passions in areas of social justice, public policy, gender inequality, racial discrimination, criminal justice, and many others. And it gives you the tools to help make real changes.<br><br>As you acquire skills in sociology, you\u2019ll also learn how to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Think critically and analytically<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Express yourself orally and in writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solve problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand and participate in your community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn on the job and throughout life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The skills and knowledge you\u2019ll develop at UM-Flint will prepare you to work in public policy, social services, nonprofits, education, marketing, and other fields.
