OVERVIEW OF THE SOCIOLOGY PROGRAM

Sociology is the systematic study of society and human activity.  The Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, consisting of 30 semester hours, is designed to enhance the student’s ability to understand various forms of social and cultural interaction.  With an emphasis on both sociological and anthropological theory and research, the sociology degree is useful preparation for advanced graduate study as well as entry-level employment.


EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIOLOGY MAJORS

Students with a B.S. degree in sociology frequently find employment in entry-level positions within public administration, advertising, business, social service agencies, health services, community planning, and teaching.  Many sociology majors also pursue graduate study in such areas as Sociology, Social Work, Public Administration, Anthropology, and Law.
