Fascinated by how human groups function?
Then a sociology degree may be for you!
Sociology is the systematic study of the development, interaction, and behavior of organized human groups. Sociological concepts, theory, and methods provide powerful insights into the social processes that shape our lives, the problems we face, and the possibilities we can envision in contemporary society. UW's department researches and teaches social movements, social stratification, crime, religion, the evolution of social behavior, politics, globalization, immigration, and health.
A degree in Sociology prepares our students for a broad range of career options as well as graduate and professional studies. For example, some of our former students currently work in state and federal government departments/centers, find employment as research analysts, or pursue various careers in public health. Additionally, many of our graduate students move on to PhD programs and successful academic careers.
