Understanding social actions, patterns and change has never been more urgent or relevant than in today's complex and unstable world.<br><br>From peace and justice to conflict and inequality, from immigration to globalization, from sustainable cities to rural communities, from health care to welfare, the topics explored in sociology make it a relevant and endlessly fascinating field of study. Sociology will provide you with the theory and methods with which to grapple with these constructs and concerns-and to generate knowledge that makes a difference in the world.<br><br>As a sociology major, you'll be prepared for a career in a wide range of professions, including education, human services, law, health care, business and social change.<br><br>Our department's ethos has long been one of engagement-both in social movements that drive democratic change and in the analysis of them. In addition to mastering sociology theory and methods, you'll focus on one of four areas: gender and family, institutions, culture and religion, health and illness, and politics and social change.<br><br>We specialize in qualitative analysis but embrace historical, quantitative and comparative methods as well. We are also deeply interdisciplinary, working closely with other Brandeis programs like Women's and Gender Studies, Health: Science, Society and Policy, International and Global Studies, Social Justice and Social Policy, Peace, Conflict and Coexistence Studies, and with the Heller School for Social Policy and Management.
