Sociology is the study of the individual and human groups. It offers a broad foundation for understanding human behavior and encourages the development of critical thinking. The growing awareness of the value of sociological perspectives for problem-solving continues to provide an increasing range of opportunities for employment in a variety of work settings. Topics studied in this program include causes and prevention of crime and juvenile delinquency, social inequality, rural communities, the environment and natural resources, and social well-being, among others. Students also have the option to complete their bachelor’s with an emphasis in criminal justice. A bachelor’s in sociology serves as an excellent springboard to many careers, given the skills you obtain as a sociology major, including critical thinking, data management (e.g., analysis), and writing. Career paths include market researcher, statistician for government agencies, non-profit work, law, and corrections. This program is also good preparation for those interested in pursuing graduate studies in sociology, law, and other related fields.
