BA Sociology

The Sociology major provides students with a comprehensive understanding of society while emphasizing the application of sociological principles to address real-world issues. Our curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, analytical skills, and a sense of social responsibility.

Our focus on applied sociology equips students with the tools to actively engage with and contribute to the world around them. We believe that sociology is not just a study of society, but a catalyst for positive change. By examining social structures, power dynamics, and cultural nuances, our students learn how to identify and confront inequalities at various levels.

Sociology majors possess a versatile skill set that prepares them for a range of professions. Sociology majors often find success in roles that require critical thinking, communication skills, empathy, and an understanding of social structures and dynamics. 

Career options include: Community development, non-profit administrator, grant writing, community organizer, family advocacy, Human Resources, research analyst, market researcher, policy analyst, and public relations.
