Sociology is the study of social life and organization. What better way to study social groups than be immersed in them? Students on study abroad examine the human condition and study the way groups/individuals from other cultures interact. Study abroad broadens global perspectives for social systems in order for the student to better problem solve, make connections, and contextualize human problems.
