What Can You Do with A Degree in Sociology?

The 21st Century presents challenges that Sociology majors are uniquely prepared to address due to the broad range of knowledge and skills obtained from earning a Sociology degree. Sociologists have awareness of diverse populations and can offer a valuable perspective to an organization or business. The coursework that Sociology majors complete in research methodology allows them to develop the analytical and technical skill set that is most in demand from employers. Survey research is often used by employers and sociologists are well prepared to administer, analyze and communicate the results of survey data. Many organizations are interested in understanding the perspectives of individuals and groups on a range of topics. Sociologists have the skills to conduct focus groups and in-depth interviews for employers. Some of the topics that sociologists specialize in include education, health, poverty, crime, families and population, and gender, racial and ethnic relations. Occupations held by sociologists include teacher, social worker, human resources manager, project manager, urban planner, community health worker, data analyst, school counselor, housing coordinator, and public relations specialist.
