But what is so special about this course… Let me give you a little info about Sociology before you go through the list of universities that offers Sociology in Nigeria.
Sociologists study social influences on human behaviours, such as sexuality, ethnic identity, and religious belief, and how individuals become members of families and communities. In other word, Sociologists study the social world, from small groups of friends and families to formal organizations, such as universities and corporations, to entire nations
The field is also concerned with social problems, especially all forms of prejudice, discrimination, and inequality, and with poverty, crime, violence, and the threatened environment. Sociologists emphasize sources of social problems in the organization of society, public policies for their alleviation, and today’s questions of social justice.
Finally, they study how individuals, both alone and working in groups, can change the society in which they live, their social relationships and interactions, at power and conflict, at the structures that hold societies together, and at how those societies change. A degree in sociology opens many doors for careers and is an excellent background for advanced training in a variety of other fields.
You also ought to know which Faculty this Sociology course belongs to in the university. Sociology course can be studied under diifferent Faculties. Same course but a different approach. Below is a comprehensive list of higher institutions in Nigeria that offers Sociology.
