unique among the social sciences because it examines the whole of human societies.\u00a0 It focuses on institutional and sociocultural changes rather than on simply economic, political, or technical transformations.\u00a0 For example, sociology provides an understanding of &#8220;modernization&#8221; and &#8220;globalization&#8221; by analyzing their impact on culture human subjectivity, power relations, and collective resistance.\u00a0 Sociology prepares students to scientifically study and personally engage with human groups and communities.\u00a0 It links individual biographies with public issues.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the international character of contemporary life, the Sociology program at Â鶹´«Ã½ emphasizes internships in local New Jersey and New York communities, as well as in study abroad programs.\u00a0 By engaging in field study internships, sociology majors develop a broad and refined world perspective, and become highly prepared for graduate school and the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>A degree in Sociology provides our graduates with analytical capacities and practical skills for understanding and working with human groups, and for conducting research using a precise and humanistic scientific methodology.\u00a0 Sociology majors are employed as researchers and human relations personnel in industry and government, human services, and criminal justice.\u00a0 They fill positions in regional and community planning and environmental protection.\u00a0\u00a0 Many of our students enter a range of graduate programs and professions.\u00a0 Students may also select Sociology as one of the suitable majors for Teacher Education and Social Studies certification.<\/p>\n<p>The Sociology major offers two tracks to Â鶹´«Ã½ students interested in studying questions of human diversity, inequality, and social justice in U.S. as well as international societies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public Sociology<br \/>\nThe Public Sociology track offers students opportunities to engage public issues like poverty, race relations, popular culture, gender, and globalization in their studies.\u00a0 This track emphasizes applied research experience which will prove invaluable in the job market and as an excellent preparation for graduate school.<\/li>\n<li>Criminology<br \/>\nThe Criminology track offers students interested in law enforcement fields the opportunity to explore issues of class, race, gender, and religious difference, locally and globally.\u00a0 Students will be trained to analyze diverse situations they may face within their future professions in law enforcement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Students majoring in Sociology are urged to pursue a minor, such as African American Studies, Anthropology, Gerontology, Latin American Studies, or Women&#8217;s Studies.\u00a0 The Sociology major is offered by the School of Social Science and Human Services and leads to a B.A. degree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"
