A Sociology major examines society at scale, institutions, demographics, inequality, race, class, gender, religion, family, deviance, and social change. Programs combine theory (Marx, Weber, Durkheim through contemporary frameworks) with quantitative and qualitative research methods (statistics, survey design, ethnography, interview methods). Sociology pairs well with a minor in Statistics, Political Science, or Public Health for data-leaning graduates.

Graduates work in nonprofit research, public policy, social services, government, market research, journalism, and as a strong feeder to Law school and Social Work.
