A major longitudinal study by the American Sociological Association (2008) found that more than half of respondents who had earned an undergraduate degree in sociology were \u201cvery satisfied\u201d with their choice of major after graduation, and only 6% were \u201cnot at all satisfied.\u201d Our own undergraduates have gone on to work for universities, non-profit organizations, in sales and marketing, client relations, social services, policy reform and many more fields. Sociology majors learn many of the skills that employers value.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n What are the benefits of studying sociology, beyond earning a degree in the field?\n <\/span>\n <\/button>\n <\/h4>\n \n \nEven if you choose not to major or minor in sociology, taking sociology courses is still a great idea! Sociology contributes to a fuller understanding of human diversity, as well as how society shapes our behavior. Courses such as Social Problems, Race and Ethnic Relations, and the Sociology of Popular Culture help students learn to analyze social patterns and problems, as well as become critical, conscious members of society. Understanding the nature and impact of social interaction can also help you interact more effectively with future employers. Students from nearly every discipline at NAU have enjoyed taking elective courses in sociology.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n What types of courses do sociology majors and minors take?\n <\/span>\n <\/button>\n <\/h4>\n \n \nBecause human behavior\u00a0and thinking are\u00a0patterned by\u00a0social organization, sociology can be applied to every aspect of the human experience. While sociology majors\u00a0are required to take courses in research methods and sociological theory, they can also expect to take courses related to culture,\u00a0gender, sexuality, deviance, globalization, health and illness, the environment, the family,\u00a0and social psychology. We\u00a0even offer the sociology of fear, the sociology of resilience, and the sociology of food!<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n What level of support can I expect from the faculty and staff in this department?\n <\/span>\n <\/button>\n <\/h4>\n \n \nThe qualified\u00a0sociology\u00a0faculty at NAU\u00a0have a\u00a0diverse range of\u00a0research interests and expertise, which means there are plenty of options for guidance and support. Whether you are looking for information on\u00a0possible\u00a0internship opportunities, advice\u00a0on graduate programs or employment options, or suggestions\u00a0on which sociology\u00a0class to take next, we are here to help.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n \n Contact the Department of Sociology<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/i>\n Email:<\/span>\n <\/div>\n sociology@nau.edu<\/div>\n <\/a>\n \n \n <\/i>\n Call:<\/span>\n <\/div>\n 928-523-2979<\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Department of Sociology FAQ If you have questions, we have the answers.
