Students pursuing careers in law, social welfare, business administration, journalism and technical & scientific fields are often drawn to the Department of Sociology. In addition to being excellent preparation for graduate study or employment in any of these fields, sociology is a particularly resourceful complement to undergraduate study of these disciplines. Many of our alumni find that a double major or major-minor combination between sociology and one of these areas gives them not only a competitive academic edge over their peers, but also deeper understanding and scope of the underlying ties within these fields.
