Overview

Sociology majors from Skidmore College graduate with the ability to gather data independently about these phenomena, to analyze them statistically and qualitatively, and to apply theories to explain them. Perhaps most importantly, sociology deepens students’ awareness of the social forces affecting their lives and those of others, enabling them to address a host of social issues critically and constructively.

Key Facts

As a traditional liberal arts major, sociology inspires students to be life-long learners. As a contemporary, cutting-edge social science, sociology empowers students and prepares them for a rich variety of post-baccalaureate experiences. Recent graduates from our department have gone on to careers in law, public health, business, teaching, governmental agencies, and non-governmental (non-profit) organizations.

Many have pursued graduate study in some of the foremost sociology departments in the country or have earned advanced degrees in law, criminal justice, public health, nursing, social work, and education, to name but a few. Still others have undertaken public service in the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach for America, City Year, and elsewhere.
