Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

The sociology major is ideal for students with broad interests and imagination since it provides the opportunity to study anything with theoretical and empirical rigor. Sociologists study crime and deviance, medicine and the law, marriage and the family, and organizational behavior. They research personal interactions, migration patterns, and local cultures and globalization as well as religion and science, politics, social movements, consumerism, media and the environment. Matters relating to age, race, gender and socio-economic status always interest sociologists. This kind of breadth and diversity of content is not only interesting and rewarding but also cultivates the kind of global perspective that the modern workplace demands. As the local business environment continues to evolve and grow increasingly diverse, local business leaders recognize a liberal arts degree as an extremely beneficial credential. Industries that might not have previously considered a sociology degree applicable to their organization now highly value it. Sociology majors commonly pursue careers or graduate-level training in education, counseling, psychology, law, medicine, social work, marketing, business, administration, public affairs, public policy and communication. In addition to providing a classic liberal arts education with an emphasis on critical thinking as well as oral and written communication skills, the sociology major provides practical training in the kinds of analytic, statistical, and research skills that today's employers seek..
