Sociology at Three Rivers
 Sociology is the study of people and societies and the way in which they shape people's behavior, beliefs and identities. Probably the most important thing about sociology is that it enables us to make sense of the rapidly changing world in which we live.
Changes in our world have led to a more service-oriented workforce - a workforce that must work and compete in an ever-growing global economy. Sociology offers students vital knowledge and insights that mek them valuable players in today's work world.
