The major in sociology is designed to familiarize the student with these areas through an understanding of theory, method, and statistical procedures employed within them.
Concentration is possible at the undergraduate level.
However, the faculty believes the undergraduate should have a foundation in the basics of the discipline upon which to build a future specialization. Such specialization is more appropriate at the advanced levels. Many career opportunities combine a foundation in sociology with business, computer science, or community development. Opportunities within the field of sociology proper usually require graduate study. The major will prepare the student for such advanced work as well as for pursuit of career options with only the B.A. degree.
