Sociology is the systematic study and explanation of the full range of social
relations, encompassing a consideration of intimate, as well as impersonal,
institutional, and societal relations. The critical-analytical skills and
knowledge acquired in sociology courses can inform, empower and enrich
everyone’s participation in their everyday lives. Sociology majors, whether
pursuing a BA or BS degree, receive preparation for graduate studies and
professional schools, as well as for a broad range of careers in education,
social research in the public or private sector, social services, family
counseling, gerontology and criminal justice. Along with regular courses, and
those offered on special topics of current interest, a variety of internships
are available in social services, counseling and criminal justice.
