Sociology BA
As a sociology major at Wilkes University, you’ll learn about social problems facing our world in a small-class setting. Conduct your own research as part of your senior capstone project and develop a portfolio of projects to show employers. You’ll also have opportunities to interact with local and state elected officials to voice your concerns about social problems and offer real, practical solutions.
Human beings are incredibly complicated and difficult to study, and Wilkes will give you the tools to understand the world around you. Besides preparing you for a career, the program can also prepare you for graduate study in sociology, law, social work, business or psychology, among others.
