Law & Criminal Justice Flyer
Careers in the criminal and juvenile justice fields, including law enforcement, probation/parole, and corrections, are common areas where a degree in sociology is extremely useful. Sociology provides students with an understanding of group behaviors and the sensitivities associated with diverse populations, which are skills that employers in this field heavily emphasize.
In preparation for law school or a career in law, it is incredibly important to cultivate skills in analytical thinking, problem solving, comprehending complex concepts and communicating ideas effectively. The degree's emphasis on social research methods and statistics provide a crucial foundation for the development of these skills.
