Sociology is the study of social life, social change, social causes and consequences of human behavior in various cultural contexts.  Sociologists examine social behavior in families, groups, organizations, communities, and whole societies.  They also study the increasing complexities of connections among cultures and societies today. 

Psychology is the study of how and why people behave as they do.  It is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes with particular attention to human development, personality, social interactions, psychopathology and research methodology.

The Socio-psychology minor combines the two disciplines and is a good complement to most major areas of study.
