Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Sociology

  • The program offered by George Mason University also informs the practice of social and public service, aiding efforts to address important social problems. Sociology majors pursue a varied set of career paths, ranging from teaching, human service, and human resource occupations, to positions in the criminal justice system, marketing, and social research. 
  • The major is excellent preparation for students considering law school or graduate training in the social and behavioral sciences.
  • At Mason, we prepare students to participate in important public debates in the face of continuous social transformation. With our emphasis on public sociology – where research moves from the classroom to the world to address matters of urgent public concern – and on globalization, students will learn how social movements emerge from the collective efforts of individuals, how social forces work to define racial identities and gender roles, and how social inequality shapes their life and the lives of others.
