BA Sociology at New York University

The discipline of sociology and the Sociology major at NYU examine how our individual lives are embedded in families, groups and social networks, neighborhoods and schools, and organizations and institutions. Sociologists focus on the ways in which our own biographies are influenced and constrained by broader social, political, and economic forces which can be very localized, but are increasingly global in scale. We study sociology to understand the social world and to create change that will make it a better place.
