Overview

Why Sociology?

At a moment when our society is reckoning with systemic racism, sexual harassment and growing inequality, sociology has never been more relevant. Whether you're interested in social work, criminal justice, public policy, youth mentoring, or community development, we have a place and a pathway for you.

Real-World Experience

You will have many chances to be active both on and off campus, where your interpersonal skills are put to use in various ways. Our department will help you find experiential learning opportunities —usually off campus—where you can intern with professionals in related fields including social work, law, veterans' services and criminal justice. These internships help you to better define your career goals, and sometimes even lead to employment in your chosen fields.

Our students University of the Pacific are very active in campus and community organizations, enriching their experience as Sociology majors. Two recent alumni, Brandie Spencer (’11) and Gwendolyn Primous (’13), have each founded non-profit organizations working with Stockton youth. Several more alums have developed such a strong affiliation with student life that they have gone on to careers in student affairs.
