"What can someone do with a sociology degree?" Sociology is a discipline which enables thinkers to understand and critique the problems of contemporary societies, and which prepares students for a wide variety of entry-level jobs in our present-day, globally diverse and demanding workforce, as well as for a range of professions that demand a critical, socially-oriented, undergraduate academic background for future training. This course is designed to enable you to use your sociology training at Ramapo College for success in your future positions in the labor market or graduate academic settings. It will ensure that upon graduation with a bachelor's degree in Sociology, you can understand classical and contemporary lines of thought in the discipline, be experienced in empirical research, use sociological texts to theorize about your findings, work with others to evaluate your results, write a sociological paper in professional format, and present your work in a public forum. A portion of this course is also dedicated to guiding your search for social science related jobs or graduate school programs upon your completion of the sociology major at Ramapo.
