Sociology BA

By taking our classes, our students develop ties within the CCNY community, find their learning and career interests, and connect with instructors who can write recommendation letters needed for jobs, scholarships, awards, and graduate programs.  Moreover, students learn transferable skills that include critical reasoning, writing, and research methods, including survey techniques, ethnography, interviewing, quantitative and qualitative analyses. 

These skills prepare students for leadership in their communities, as well as for a wide and diverse range of jobs in public policy, local, state and federal government, education, human and social services, advertising, marketing, research, academia, law, writing and publishing.  Graduates from our major and minor have completed graduate programs in sociology and other disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields, as well as medical programs and law and business schools.
