Overview

Sociology at Georgia Southern University gives you the eyes to see the hidden social forces that affect the course of our lives and our communities. Sociology also gives you the scientific methods to understand and engage with the issues of our time: race, poverty, inequality, globalization, immigration, environmental change, gender, power, and many others.

With both of these in hand our graduates are prepared to grapple with social problems that affect the entire globe or just one family.

What Can I Do With a Sociology Degree?

Sociology graduates can seamlessly transition into social service careers, working with governmental organizations, and non-profits. The skill set that sociology provides is highly prized within the business sector for careers in human resources, public relations, and marketing. Sociology also provides a strong academic base for careers and advanced degrees in law, medicine, social work, and counseling.

Over the course of your education you will develop many “real world” skills including how to ask research questions, find existing evidence, collect your own data, and analyze it with quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Students who focus their classes on social services will develop basic counseling skills, techniques for program evaluation, and the tools to analyze how public policy affects individuals, families, and communities.

The American Sociological Association also has some excellent resources on the job prospects and career opportunities for our graduates.
