THE DISCIPLINE:
Sociology explores social life and the social causes
and consequences of human behavior.
Sociologists study people, their organizations, and
their cultures. The organizations include families,
tribes, communities, and societies, along with a
variety of social, religious, political, and business
institutions. The study of culture examines
language, beliefs, and knowledge in societies.
INTERNSHIPS, CO-OP & PRACTICAL ED:

FINANCING:
Many students work up to 20 hours per week.
Some find employment in campus labs and some
junior and senior students obtain teaching or
research assistantships. Most of our students
obtain summer jobs that make use of their training
and interests.
CAREERS:
Sociologists may be involved in the scientific study
of deviance, family, minority groups, communities,
or any of a variety of other subject areas. Some
sociologists conduct surveys or social
experiments. Growing numbers apply sociological
knowledge in corrections and penology,
education, public relations in industry, and
regional and community planning. Some study
urban or rural settings, and cross-national
research is increasing.
One of the primary subject areas in the social
sciences, sociology is a broad liberal arts major,
rather than a narrow occupational specialty.
Students who major in sociology are not trained
for a single occupation, but instead they are
qualified for a wide range of jobs and graduate
programs. Job opportunities are greater for
students with skills in research methods and social
data analysis.
For more information on careers in your
major, please refer to From Major to Career, a
publication located in all college advisement
centers.

Your faculty advisor can assist you in choosing electives to meet your
total hour requirement.
Note:
Students are encouraged to complete an average of 15
credit hours each semester or 30 credit hours each year,
which could include spring and/or summer terms. Taking
fewer credits substantially increases the cost and the
number of semesters to graduate.
