Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

Bowling Green State University

The BGSU sociology major or minor provides an essential foundation for understanding the society we live in, and how our relationships with people and institutions affect wide-ranging outcomes from family formation to immigration, cohabitation, crime, as well as various inequalities, such as racial, gender, and socioeconomic. Sociologists focus on social issues such as poverty, segregation, housing and employment, crime and punishment, population changes, social justice, and human interaction with the environment. Sociology has practical applications in business, governments and nonprofits, as well as academic institutions. The courses you will take to earn a major or minor in sociology provide a unique foundation for careers in law, human services, community organizing, and social policy and research.
