Sociology
Opportunities
An
undergraduate degree in sociology is excellent preparation for law
school, medical school, or for graduate work in such fields as sociology,
history, gerontology, or political science.
Outside of academics, sociologists work in a wide variety of settings. Some serve
as statistical analysts for market research firms, health care agencies, and
government. Others are involved in urban planning, survey research, public relations,
agency management, trend analysis, or criminal justice.There are sociologists
of religion working for national church organizations, and sociologists specializing
in gerontology who are engaged in research or administration for agencies concerned
with the aged.
