A Bachelor of Arts in Sociology examines how human behavior is influenced by social interaction and group dynamics. Students learn to investigate the ways individuals are shaped by families, communities, and cultures and how those groups are, in turn, created and sustained by the people within them. A Sociology degree will prepare a student for graduate professional training in sociology or related disciplines. Many students pursue advanced degrees in applied areas of study such as criminal justice, counseling, gerontology, law, the military, public administration, social work, and teaching. If you want to advocate for social justice, support underserved populations, or analyze data to inform policy, Sociology gives you the tools to turn curiosity into impact.
