Sociology studies social life, social relations, social change, and human behavior’s social causes and consequences. Sociology majors acquire critical analytic skills in evaluating sociological research, including the background assumptions, appropriateness of methods used, and the strength of explanatory evidence; learn the fundamentals of theoretical and methodological approaches used by sociologists; and gain substantive expert knowledge in a variety of sociological subfields, including medical sociology, gender and sexuality, culture, urban sociology, global and transnational sociology, crime and policing, race, immigration, economic sociology, political sociology, and much more. Critical-thinking skills and broad theoretical knowledge prepare majors for many different career options. Sociology graduates work in fields that range from medicine and law to social work, education, market research, business, journalism, criminal justice, policy analysis, and nonprofits. Many students complete graduate work in various academic and professional fields, such as sociology and other social sciences, business and management, education, law and criminal justice, medicine, and public health. The BU Hub is a requirement for all undergraduates at any University, whether they are first-year freshmen or transfer students.
