Choosing your major was one of the most significant decisions of your college career.
Students choose to major in sociology for different reasons.
Typically, students who major in sociology have a keen curiosity about how the social world operates, have a sincere desire to alleviate social problems, and want to make a positive difference in the world. The students who do the best as sociology majors are able to think analytically and to write persuasively about social issues, and can handle the ambiguity and uncertainty that characterizes social phenomena. Furthermore, sociology majors learn to appreciate the differences which can so often separate people. You will use the skills you develop as a sociology major every day in whatever environment you decide to work. My major gave me the ability to think about people in a systematic way and gave me another way of looking at people in groups.
