As a sociology major, you’ll learn how to look at the world from a social rather than an individualistic perspective … how to use quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze and interpret how society is organized and why people make the choices they do. You’ll explore how society works—and what happens when it doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to.

Participating in an internship with a law or social service agency will give you invaluable experience and help you make decisions about the kind of work you want to do. Sociology majors enjoy numerous options for rewarding careers that make their communities, and the world, a better place to live.
