A wide variety of minors might be appropriate, depending upon the particular career path a student envisions. Recent graduates have chosen a number of different minors, including anthropology, business administration, criminal justice, English, history, political science, psychology, and social gerontology. The sociology major has been structured to give students a great deal of flexibility both within and outside of the major. Obtaining a major in sociology and a minor in any discipline should be quite easy within the context of the 120 hours it takes to graduate, provided the student declares both early enough. In fact, students often opt to combine sociology and another discipline to obtain a double major.
Qualified undergraduates are able to find jobs without post-graduate training.
However, as is true in most disciplines in the liberal arts, earning a graduate degree enhances one s employment possibilities. My degree from RU has enabled me to utilize applied sociology and anthropology techniques to assist disabled workers to reenter the work force.
