Are you fascinated by how societies evolve and how culture shapes human behavior? Are you curious about how new technologies are transforming communication, communities, and social movements? Or perhaps you’re passionate about addressing today’s most pressing social challenges? If so, this program is the ideal place to begin your journey.

The Sociology specialization at Civitas University offers a strong theoretical foundation in the social sciences, paired with practical skills in research, analysis, and communication. While sociology is a general academic field, practical competencies—particularly those developed in specialization courses—are rooted in advanced disciplinary knowledge and the sociologist’s research toolkit.

You will explore topics such as digital media, public relations, lobbying, and the mechanisms behind contemporary social movements. You will also gain advanced methodological expertise and the ability to apply sociological knowledge in diverse professional contexts. Taught by a distinguished faculty of scholars and practitioners, the program will equip you with a critical understanding of global societies and the tools to make a real-world impact.
