The American Sociological
Association offers a general overview of what one can do with
a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts,
or PhD in Sociology. And as the discussion will indicate, sociology, with
its solid liberal arts training, provides excellent preparation for a wide
range of entry level positions in such fields as education, law, medicine,
business, law enforcement, social work, counseling, and social services.
A better sense for what many of our graduates of Cal State LA are actually
doing can be obtained by visiting our alumni link.
And what these recent data will reveal is that a substantial number of our
graduates is involved in such professions as teaching, business, social
services, law enforcement, and health services. Significant, too, is the
observation that approximately fifty percent of our graduates have pursued
graduate or advanced training in such fields as sociology, education, social
work, law, and health-related fields.
The American Sociological Association has several brochures online
discussing careers in sociology, including:
Majoring
in Sociology: A Guide for Students
The Sociology Major: Preparation for Careers
Careers in
Sociology
Careers in Clinical Sociology
