Our students graduate with a focus and ambition that can only be fostered through a holistic learning experience. Our faculty deconstruct barriers and teach subjects within larger contexts that allow students to discover integrative approaches to problem-solving and social analysis. Our program enables students to draw ideas and work with people from all disciplines -- to become professionals who think critically, solve creatively, and act decisively.<br><br>Students pursuing careers in law, social welfare, business administration, journalism and technical & scientific fields are often drawn to the Department of Sociology. In addition to being excellent preparation for graduate study or employment in any of these fields, sociology is a particularly resourceful complement to undergraduate study of these disciplines. Many of our alumni find that a double major or major-minor combination between sociology and one of these areas gives them not only a competitive academic edge over their peers, but also deeper understanding and scope of the underlying ties within these fields.<br><br>Our graduates find meaningful and rewarding employment as consultants to business and government, social change agents (e.g., community organizers), politicians, educators, and diplomats. A solid foundation in the liberal arts ensures that our students enter the business world as flexible problem-solvers and driven advocates of their own success.
