Sociology examines human behavior in different social and cultural contexts.
Are you curious about why people act the way they do? Do you want to be a leader in your community? Do your career goals include an understanding of group processes, social trends and cultural diversity here and abroad? Then you need to study sociology! Students attracted to sociology share concerns about social justice, yet they need skills necessary to critically analyze social problems and contribute to sustainable projects and diverse communities. Sociology gives them those skills. A sociology major combines research skills, critical thinking, and effective communication useful to many graduate programs and a number of different career paths. Internships, an important part of the sociology program, enable our students to find placements in many government, business, and human service organizations. Through an internship, majors receive practical work experience and insight leading to numerous career choices, while earning college credit. |
