Q: What careers do sociology majors choose?
A: The majority of graduates choose careers in social services, law or criminal justice, education, or community development. Students also obtain jobs in marketing or business-related fields, research, government, health care, human resources, or media-related fields. Some of these careers require advanced degrees, so graduate school is often a choice; either immediately after graduation or after working in one's chosen field.
Virtually every career can benefit from an academic understanding of human behavior.
The Department of Sociology/Anthropology offers two majors and three minors:
- B.A. degree programs for Sociology and Anthropology majors.
- Minors in Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice.
- Sociology majors can simultaneously earn a J.D. from Duquesne University through a dual-degree program.
