College Culture At Your Fingertips
Sociology ranges from the study of relationships in family units in the most primitive cultures to the research of large bureaucratic institutions in major industrialized nations. Sociology also studies more tangible measures of human behavior such as class or social status, social movements, and criminal deviance.
Through Coastline’s sociology classes – offered online and on location - you can examine a variety of social institutions, including family, religion, and education, and gain a better understanding of the roles played by social class, gender, and race in shaping social interactions.
Available Programs
Anthropology
Anthropologists take a broad approach to understanding the many different aspects of the human experience. They consider the past, through archaeology, to see how human groups lived hundreds or thousands of years ago and what was important to them.
Economics
Economics is a fascinating field of study, encompassing aspects of many other disciplines including sociology, political science, history, psychology, and math.
Geography
Geography helps us understand the physical world, such as land, air, water, and ecology. It also helps us understand human environments, such as societies and communities. This includes economics, social and cultural issues, and sometimes morals and ethics.

Historical study is advantageous in developing valuable career skills in research, writing, interpersonal communication, and documentation.
