If your school offers any classes which focus on culture, society or psychology then take them.

Answer 3

I am going to a University now for Sociology, and I wish that I would have taken more history classes in high school. It would make things really easy if I understood more history to be able to apply to sociology theories and papers.

Answer 4

I am a sociologist and College prof. - Sociology has many facets and what you should focus on depends on your larger goals. The most successful have a few things in common - to be specific to your answer I suggest Statistics for sure, psych and soc classes , any classes in culture, critical thinking - logic, etc.

A great sociologist knows how to ask questions in an "out of the box" manner - critical thinking - so you can find out what you are seeking, then they must analyze the responses - stats. then they must write up - in scientific fashion - not creative writing so a writing class esp in something like technical writing. Overall mostly any soc classes you can - Stats, then anything dealing with human behavior and critical thinking.

Answer 5

The best place to find this information is the college you plan to attend.

Answer 6

English will be more important than math. Go AP in English.
