Have you ever tried to understand why people in a room, neighborhood or city behave the way they do? That’s your job as a sociologist — to explore human behavior, societies and social change. As a sociology major at USD, you will develop the quantitative, qualitative and problem-solving skills needed to critically think about and address society's challenges. Through classes that encourage you to be reflective and analytical, research opportunities mentored by our faculty, and off-campus experiences like internships, you will come to better understand complex social dynamics in a wide variety of areas: family and marital change, religion, education, globalization, health care, crime, mass media, social movements and belief systems. You'll graduate from our program prepared for success in human and social services, public service and government, marketing, nonprofit development, law, journalism and business, among other fields. Also, the field of health care has increasingly focused on the social aspects of health and medicine, making an undergraduate sociology degree an excellent complement to pre-professional programs for medicine, public health, nursing and other health care fields.
