Overview

In the Sociology - Social Work program at Oglethorpe University, students explore the way social constructs like race, ethnicity, and economic background shape behavior and relationships; they analyze large-scale social movements. If all that sounds fascinating to you, you just might be a sociologist at heart.

Along with mastering the foundations of sociological theory, research methodology, and statistics, sociology students also develop strong skills in critical thinking, spoken and written communication, and analyzing complex arguments and texts.

Life After Sociology - Social Work from Oglethorpe University

Along with academic work in sociology, or a hands-on helping career as a social worker, consider work in business, education, law, or politics.

Our recent sociology alumni have gone on to attend graduate school at Emory University, Tulane University, University of North Carolina, University College of London, and Vanderbilt University. Our alumni are serving on the faculty at Presbyterian College and Rutgers University.

Many students who pursue sociology with a concentration in social work go on to pursue a Master of Social Work. A few recent alumni are now enrolled in MSW programs at Georgia State University and University of Georgia.
