Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Sociology] From Widener University

Social structures are everywhere, and they play a major role in virtually every aspect of our daily lives. Whether at home, at work, or in public, human behavior is governed by complex systems that are constantly changing. Sociologists analyze those systems.

• Are you interested in more deeply understanding how social structures and institutions (e.g., education, the media, family, economy, government, sports, religion, and medicine) shape human behavior?

• Do you like to think about how social categories like social class, gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and age influence the opportunities people have and the choices they make?

• Do you want to develop a better understanding of society while also developing concrete skills that will prepare you to be an engaged citizen ready to make a difference in our world?

• If you answered yes to any of these questions, a degree in sociology will put you on the ideal path for pursuing your educational and career goals.?

Students majoring in at Widener University may choose the applied sociology concentration, the civic engagement & social change concentration, the social research concentration, or the sociology pre-physical therapy concentration.?
