AB Sociology*
(AB SOC)
The program provides an interdisciplinary understanding and appreciation of human society. Specifically, it seeks to examine how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by social relationships, structures, and changes. It gives the students the ability to identify the connection between broad social forces and personal experiences — what C. Wright Mills called “the sociological imagination.”
Students who have been well-trained in Sociology know how to think critically about human social life. They know how to design and implement good social research projects, collect and analyze empirical data, and present and share their research findings. Sociology students also know how to help others understand the way the social world works and how it might be better managed or changed for the better. This course may also be a good preparatory course for law.
This program is designed so that graduates are afforded several career tracks. They can opt to become:
- Researchers and consultants in the academe; profit, not-for-profit, and public sectors; and international organizations;
- Educators in general sociology, organizational/institutional studies, social research methods, and related disciplines;
- Social policy researchers, planners, implementers, and evaluators ;
- Community development practitioners and specialists;
- Social development practitioners and specialists;
- Life coaches and trainers;
- Resource mobilizers.
