BA/BS in Sociology

The Bachelor of Science in Sociology helps students see how social structures influence opportunity, fairness and daily life. Graduates build research and communication abilities for careers in social work, teaching, counseling, nonprofit management, HR and market research, and many go on to law school. Students analyze social institutions and cultural systems, conduct and interpret social science research, and evaluate policy and community-based solutions. Minors in sociology, gerontology and geographic information systems are available, and one specialization leads toward medical social work, public health and hospital administration. A version of the program also runs through the university's evening and online division.
