Sociology is the systematic study of society, social groups, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Through an analysis and exploration of issues central in our personal lives, our communities, our nation, and the world, sociology has become one of humankind's major sources of self-awareness in the 21st century.

"When I was first looking into universities, I spoke with alumni from Eastern and they spoke about their college experience so positively and fondly. ... Charleston feels so similar to my hometown that it was like my home away from home, and I knew it would not be a difficult transition. ... I have been able to establish a connection with my professors, and I feel comfortable asking them questions and engaging in academic discussions. EIU enables students to get a quality education where they can connect with professors and fellow students."Mersadeez BarrettSociology and Psychology | Class of 2025
