Overview

Sociologists ask lots of these “why” questions and “how” questions and “what” questions. Sociologists study the big picture, focusing on the study of social life, social change and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. They study trends and seek to improve people’s lives based upon those trends. Sociology encompasses a wide range of topics including family dynamics, social deviance and crime, government policies, social and demographic trends and the impact of contemporary issues on businesses, corporations, schools and other public and private institutions. Students receive a broad education that will qualify them for many different kinds of occupations, working in business, government and the nonprofit sectors. The Bachelor of Science in Sociology manage programs and people, provide services in a variety of settings, analyze and collect data, and pursue careers in law enforcement and victim services. The major offers flexibility and can easily be added to another major.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
