Careers in Sociology

A sociology degree prepares students for a number of specific careers, while providing a perspective that is valuable throughout life. Our educational programs provide students with a broad view of the social world that enables them to evaluate the results of social scientific studies, compare and contrast different theories and research methods utilized to explain social and institutions, and identify the changing forms of social inequality and their implications for social divisions that exist locally, nationally, and globally.
