社会学理学学士-健康与社会

作为一门社会学专业的学生，​​您将研究人类如何相互联系以及他们为何在不同的社会中蓬勃发展和挣扎。这种集中注意力使学生了解各个层面的社会不平等如何影响跨文化的健康以及男性，女性，儿童，老人和其他人群的健康经历。许多毕业生在快速增长的医疗保健行业中建立职业，并受雇于医院，政府机构，保险公司和社区组织。或者，您可以在公共卫生，社会工作，医院管理或公共管理等领域继续读研究生。
As a sociology major, you'll study how humans relate to one another and why they thrive and flounder in different societies. This concentration gives students an understanding of how social inequalities at all levels influence health across cultures, as well as the health experiences of men, women, children, the elderly, and other populations. Many graduates build careers in the fast-growing health care sector, employed in hospitals, government agencies, insurance companies, and community organizations. Or you can go on to graduate school in fields such as public health, social work, hospital administration, or public administration. Suffolk underscores the importance of real-world experience. In addition to your coursework, as a junior and senior you'll have the chance to engage in practicums to conduct fieldwork and help underserved segments of the population. Our well-connected faculty help students obtain internships at a wide range of Boston-area sites, including local courts, youth services centers, schools, law firms, hospitals, crisis centers, social service providers, and shelters.
