Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

Baylor University

Sociology is the science that studies the social relationships of people. Coursework includes the study of a wide range of human behaviors from individual development, to relational growth, social institutions including groups, organizations, cultures and social structures. Graduates of the Sociology program often continue to pursue their studies through graduate school. Others apply what they have learned in the classroom to helping professions, medicine, dentistry, ministry, religious education, law, business, marketing, counseling and criminal justice. The knowledge and analytical skills of sociology make our graduates broadly marketable. More than half of our alumni build a career upon their undergraduate degree. About a third eventually pursues some type of graduate education, such as sociology, social work, seminary, business administration, law, or medical. Private laboratories, foundations, and research centers offer opportunities for those who study sociology and health.
