Sociology - Saint Marys College of California

Sociology from Saint Marys College of California is a Campus Bachelor Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. In the Sociology department you'll learn to better understand the sometimes confusing nature of human social life. How is social life possible? What do patterns of social life tell us about the world? What is the relationship of the individual to the social order? Sociology addresses the most pressing social issues in contemporary American society -- racial and ethnic tensions, gender inequality, poverty, health and illness, social movements, crime and deviance, educational inequality, immigration, and problems in urban environments, just to name a few. Sociologists study everything from the social dynamics of two people in conversation to the social dynamics of political revolutions. Sociology provides students with a theoretical framework with which to help make sense of an increasingly complex world and the place of the individual within that world. Sociology also provides students with specific methodological tools to investigate the social world and to collect and analyze data about the world we live in. The sociology major develops research skills, analytical skills, and communication skills that are well-suited to students interested in careers in teaching, public and mental health, counseling, social work, the criminal justice system, public policy, marketing, journalism, and the non-profit sector. Students can take advantage of the exchange course program to enroll in sociology and ethnic studies courses at the University of California, Berkeley, as well as Mills College and California State University at Hayward. The department offers a field placement/internship program with neighboring institutions such as social service agencies and businesses. View more details on Saint Marys College of California .
