Welcome to Fall 2026!

SOC 119 is back, and we’re ready for another semester of exploring race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, and the world around us.

With students and viewers from around the world, SOC 119 is more than a traditional class. It’s a place to challenge what we think we know, explore different perspectives, and speak with each other, not at each other.

Whether you’re joining us from Penn State or somewhere across the globe, you’re part of the conversation.

This is the brand new SOC 119 trailer!

Fall semester class starts at 4:35 PM EST on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Only 1 month until the fall semester begins!

In May, students in Penn State Sociology and Culture in Korea program traveled to Seoul, where they engaged with Korean culture, explored the city, and built connections with students at Konkuk University.

Through new experiences, conversations, and cultural exchange, students gained a deeper understanding of life in South Korea and broadened their perspectives along the way.
