Overview

Sociology at Rider University is often referred to as the “queen” of the social sciences because it encompasses all the components of society – including the relations of society to the individual. It studies the economy, politics, crime, law, media, education, family and how these influence each other. In doing so, it offers its own unique disciplinary perspective on society and social life.

Consider some questions sociologists explore:

How does the society we live in impact our opportunities and experiences (e.g., the likelihood of career success or failure; singlehood, marriage, divorce or widowhood; illness or wellness)?

How does our culture differ from others? How do cultural differences shape understandings of people and events and potentially result in misunderstandings?

Does our society have more crime and violence than some other societies? If so, why? What kinds of social policies can effectively deal with these problems so that citizens can feel, and be, safer?
