Sociology Minor
Sociology is the systematic study of human social behavior, particularly the social dynamics of large organizations, communities, institutions, and cultures. The minor in Sociology at Nevada State College gives students an opportunity to study issues such as the growth of the U.S. welfare system, immigration policies, gender issues, racial and ethnic identity, and changing ideas about deviance, all of which complement other disciplines at NSC while providing a unique perspective.
