About the Program

Sociology examines how societies are organized, how social institutions function, and how social change occurs, drawing on both theory and empirical research. Coursework typically covers classical and contemporary sociological theory, research methods and statistics, and substantive topics such as social stratification, urban sociology, family, and social movements. Students learn to design and carry out research projects, analyze social data, and apply sociological concepts to real-world issues such as inequality, migration, or organizational behavior. The discipline also encourages comparative analysis across different societies and historical periods. Graduates commonly work in social research, public policy, human resources, nonprofit organizations, and journalism, or pursue further graduate study in sociology or related social sciences. This bachelor program is delivered in English over 4 years at Yeditepe University in İstanbul, Turkey. Studying sociology in a large city like İstanbul offers students direct access to varied urban and social phenomena relevant to coursework.
