Sociology
| Why should I choose the sociology major? If you are in search of a field that is broad enough to encompass all your various interests in fields as diverse as criminology, poverty, aging, urban development, media, medicine, science, race, and gender, among others, you may find that the sociology major is right for you. Flagler's sociology program not only provides students with training in contemporary human inquiry but, in the process, also allows them to develop the critical thinking, analytical, writing, research, and fieldwork skills essential for professional success across a variety of fields. Sociology graduates are well-prepared for graduate school as well as for careers in everything from human services to development work to social and academic research and civic leadership. What does the program at Flagler offer? The sociology major at Flagler emphasizes the development of theoretical understanding as well as practical research skills. Students are required to complete studies in such courses as Social Problems, Introductory Sociology, Research Methods, Development of Sociological Theory, and Statistics for Business and Social Science as well as complete an exit exam. Students may focus on a specific interest such as criminology, gerontology, or human services—which allows them to customize their major and experiences to meet their particular needs. In addition to a challenging curriculum, Flagler students benefit from small classes, personal interaction with a distinguished faculty of scholars, and extensive internship opportunities that allow them to gain practical experience with local social service agencies or state or municipal offices. |
