Career Options for Sociology Majors
With a sociology major, students can work in a variety of occupations. Many sociology students work in social services as social workers and counselors, in secondary schools as teachers, in administrative positions at private and non-profit companies as human resource specialists, and in business as market analysists. A bachelor’s degree in sociology will also provide a solid foundation for seeking a graduate degree in sociology or other fields, such as social work, psychology, law, public administration, education, business, and gender studies. The Department of Sociology at WMU also offers an accelerated Master of Arts in sociology for sociology majors.
