    is assessment evaluation. I take all the things that I am learning this semester, and I get to apply it. It is making recommendations to make an impact. Why Study Sociology?Sociology provides students with distinctive ways of looking at the world in order to generate new ideas and assess the old. Coursework includes analysis of family and gender issues, race/ethnicity, social class, social problems and inequality. In addition, sociology provides training in a range of research techniques which

Traveling to National parks and seeing elephants, giraffes, zebras, and cheetahs is something I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Being able to study away without it costing more than my regular cost of attendance was amazing. In Namibia, I started a biochemistry research project on the potential chemical
