Have you ever stopped to think about the groups your part of? Think of your family, your community, or a charity you support. How do these groups change what you think and do? And how do your actions affect them?
This is what sociology helps us understand. This course is a good start for those looking at a WGU bachelor's degree later on. It also gives you a taste of what online learning feels like, and you'll have a team to support you all the way.
You'll learn about big ideas like religion, race, gender, and family, and how they shape our lives. You'll see how things like schools, jobs, and governments are formed by people and how they also change people. Plus, you'll learn about people who think and act differently and how they can make big changes in our world.
With WGU's tailored online learning platform, students aren't just absorbing information; they're experiencing an enriched academic journey. Our student support services, 24/7 tutoring, course exams are all covered in the cost of your tuition – no hidden fees.
