About Bachelor of Sociology

Career Opportunities

Sociology can provide you with many distinctive perspectives on the world, generating new ideas and critiquing established ideologies. The field also offers a range of research techniques that can be applied to virtually any aspect of social life: street crime and delinquency, corporate downsizing, how people express emotions, welfare or education reform, how families differ and flourish, or problems of peace and war.

Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time, it is a rapidly expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create programs. Sociologists understand and analyze social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and how social systems work. Sociology is an exciting discipline with expanding opportunities for a wide range of career paths.

A sociology degree can be combined with a teaching licensure program through the Watson College of Education, enabling you to teach social studies after graduation.
