What Can I Do With My Major?

There are few jobs that have the title "Sociologist" or "Criminologist" for those who hold a Bachelor's Degree. However, a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and/or Criminology provides an excellent liberal arts foundation, and graduates are able to apply their skills and knowledge across a wide variety of occupations and professions. Examples include (but are not limited to):

  • Criminal Justice & Public Safety
  • Health & Social Services
  • Community Work
  • Business
  • Government
  • Education
