Sociology
|
A degree in sociology is excellent preparation for future work in sociology. The undergraduate degree provides a strong liberal arts preparation for entry level positions throughout the business, social service, and government worlds. Employers look for people with the skills that an undergraduate education in sociology provides. Since its subject matter is intrinsically fascinating, sociology offers valuable preparation for careers in journalism, politics, public relations, business, or public administration--fields that involve investigative skills and working with diverse groups. Many students choose sociology because they see it as a broad liberal arts base for professions such as law, education, medicine, social work, and counseling. Sociology provides a rich fund of knowledge that directly pertains to each of these fields. Anthropology

Psychology
Psychologists provide a number of services-both direct and indirect-to children, youth, and families in schools at all levels, from nursery school through college. Many focus on improving the effectiveness of teaching and student learning, frequently by studying motivation and cognitive processes in the classroom. School psychologists also provide counseling and crisis intervention services. They help students with learning or behavior problems, learning disabilities, and cognitive deficits. They work with students in schools to prevent violence and other disruptive behaviors. Work in the community draws a wide range of psychologists. They advise our human services, court, prison, and youth services systems. They also design programs for Boys' and Girls' Clubs and community centers. Some psychologists working in the community study the behavior of adult and juvenile law offenders and develop methods of modifying their behavior. They diagnose and counsel youthful offenders to bring about important behavior changes that keep these offenders out of prison. They provide counseling services within jails or other correctional facilities so that inmates can return to society with better coping skills. |
