UD Sociology
Sociology and Criminal Justice
The scientific and systematic study of these issues in sociology classes helps students to:

  • develop analytical and critical thinking skills;
  • gain insights into their own personal experiences;
  • understand and appreciate diversity at multiple levels; and
  • be prepared to contribute to their communities, society, and global arrangements through leadership skills and a sociological insight

Graduates in sociology may seek careers as researchers and/or university teachers by continuing their study at the graduate level. A major in sociology also provides an excellent background for graduate programs in social work, law, criminal justice, and other related disciplines. Additionally, the study of sociology prepares students for effective participation in a variety of careers in diverse fields such as education, government, criminology and corrections, community service, mental health services, business, and media and information systems.
