Sociology majors acquire a broad knowledge of the social structural world (i.e., social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces of social change and resistance and how social structures work). They also develop a range of research skills, including:

• Analyzing and interpreting information.
• Collecting and organizing detailed research notes into a logical presentation.
• Communicating findings both orally and in writing.

Employers look for people with the skills and knowledge that the undergraduate Sociology degree provides. Some career options for students to consider are in the areas of human services, criminal justice, education, government, social science research, environment and business.
