Sociology
The Sociology (Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science) degree is designed to develop a broad liberal arts perspective on the nature and diversity of societies and groups, while developing foreign language skills. It is also designed for students interested in people, families, work settings, legal systems, and social and organizational problems. Students have flexibility in developing a specific course of study, which will prepare them for the type of employment or advanced degree to which they plan to strive. Graduates of the bachelor of arts program frequently go on to jobs in social service agencies, business, research, and nonprofit organizations. Language skills make these graduates highly marketable. Graduates of the program pursue jobs within the criminal justice system, social service agencies, business, research, and nonprofit organizations. Many students continue graduate study in fields such as sociology or law.
