BA-SOCI - Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

Students in the Sociology program at Catawba College develop a sociological mind through challenging coursework, thought-provoking discussions, and focused experiential learning opportunities. You’ll learn how to become a vital sociological expert in a dynamic world from inspiring faculty in small classes and through meaningful internships and service learning experiences at local human service organizations. You’ll conduct essential research in our Social Science Research course and grow to understand and aptly assess individual behaviors in societal contexts.

We know that all employers, regardless of the industry or specialization, value an employment candidate’s ability to read well, write well, and present well. We teach and reinforce these fundamental skills in every Sociology course that you’ll take. Because of this value added approach to education, our Sociology majors have gone on to pursue advanced careers in law, health care, education, and social work.
