Overview

The Sociology Skill Set

The Sociology program of Vanderbilt University provides several skills that can be the basis for a successful career in many fields:

Sociology majors are trained to weigh controversies and develop complex analyses of social and organizational problems, a skill set that is important in many careers.

Sociology majors understand how to review the social science literature on a problem. The capacity to digest, analyze, and synthesize a diverse set of sources is valuable in a wide range of careers.

Sociology majors are trained to translate research into policy analysis and develop policy based on research.

Sociology majors are trained in hypothesis generation and testing, data analysis, and both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Sociology majors gain a broad understanding of our changing world and emerge well-equipped to adapt to new careers and to help organizations adapt to changing economic, political, and social environments.

After Vanderbilt
