Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

Program Overview

Develop an in-depth understanding of human nature to set the stage for life-changing and society-affecting innovations. Sociology studies the ways social structures and interactions shape human life. In this Bachelor of Arts major, students gain deep knowledge of society's origins, its functions and its problems, focusing on relations among people, groups, organizations and cultures. Graduates walk away adept at quantitative and qualitative research methods, as well as with strong interview skills and sharply honed writing abilities. Many students use a Sociology major as the base for careers in law, health or social services, while others employ it as a launch pad for graduate work as a professional sociologist in research organizations or educational institutions.
