Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Sociology
Sociology has the advantage of preparing its graduates to work in a number of different fields. The required statistics and methods courses provide background in both qualitative and quantitative research, all of the courses promote critical thinking and excellent writing skills, and the study of sociology promotes an understanding of social structures and situations that can be extremely useful in any occupation.
The Career Matrix developed by the Career Planning staff of Career Services at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville provides general strategies to prepare for a variety of career paths open to sociology majors. We are also in the process of collecting more specific information on preparing for certain career paths that are often chosen by sociology majors. Note that this is under development, and more job categories will be added as we research them.
